customers who want this application do not want their databases to be online and therefore would prefer to have them locally.

No. Web apps run in a sandbox in the browser and have no direct access to the client computer filesystem for security reasons.

And your server has even less access!

You would have to write a client native application, which could access the local DB - but if you wanted that to communicate with anything online, that gets complicated. Not impossible, but certainly not trivial.

If every user of the site will have their own completely separate database, then you may be able to use the IndexDB API:

IndexedDB API - Web APIs | MDN[^]

However, this will be tied to a specific browser. For example, a user who uses your site to create a database in Chrome would not be able to switch to Edge or Firefox without losing their data.
