When running the desktop application, Electron stores internal data (caches, spell-check dictionaries, session storage, etc.) separately from the Trilium data directory. By default this goes to the system's application data folder (e.g. `%APPDATA%` on Windows), which may be undesirable in corporate environments with roaming profiles or when running in portable mode.
When `TRILIUM_DATA_DIR` is set (e.g. via the `trilium-portable` script), the Electron user data is automatically redirected into `${TRILIUM_DATA_DIR}/electron-user-data/`, so no files are written to the system's roaming profile.
If you need to store the Electron data in a different location than the Trilium data directory, you can set the `TRILIUM_ELECTRON_DATA_DIR` environment variable to an explicit path.
To keep Electron data out of the system's roaming profile, set the `TRILIUM_ELECTRON_DATA_DIR` environment variable to an explicit path. The `trilium-portable` script does this automatically, pointing it to `trilium-electron-data/` next to the application. A subdirectory named `electron-data-[port]` is created inside it to allow multiple instances to coexist.
