Where Does Dino Store Chats and Keys?

Dino XMPP client database and config on Linux: dino.db with accounts, chats and OMEMO keys.

Last updated

Dino keeps accounts, chat history and OMEMO keys in a dino.db SQLite file under the local share tree, with preferences in config.

Keys live with history. Losing the database means re-establishing every encrypted session from scratch.

Where Dino stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.local/share/dino

Holds dino.db with accounts, history and keys. Preferences sit in ~/.config/dino. Close Dino before copying.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move Dino to a new machine?

Copy the dino data folder with Dino closed. Accounts, history and encryption keys travel in dino.db. Re-verify OMEMO sessions on the new machine as good hygiene.
