Off the cuff, I can't answer the question, I would have to test it. You would then be missing the functions that MAC addresses are assigned to manufacturers. Also notifications would not work.

Another consideration to your request.
Prerequisites for such an installation are:

• all dependencies (python packages, software like webserver, arp-scan, etc) must already be installed on the system
• you need the package "pialert_latest.tar" from the repository

Then you could edit the installation script with the path of the "pialert_latest.tar". This should get the biggest problems out of the way. However, since the issue with dependencies is very individual, I can not make a precise statement.

well, anyway what i did: i moved the machine that was working with internet to a network without internet and it stopped working.

Okay, so Pi.Alert is already installed? I can test this in the next days.
Are you running Pi-hole on the same system?
Have you assigned a static IP to Pi.Alert or do you use a DHCP?

What means "Not working"?
You can't reach the Webinterface or no scan starts?

Try to change the following lines (line 181+) from

    # Get Internet IP
    print ('\nRetrieving Internet IP...')
    internet_IP = get_internet_IP()
    # TESTING - Force IP
        # internet_IP = "1.2.3.4"

to:

    # Get Internet IP
    print ('\nRetrieving Internet IP...')
    # internet_IP = get_internet_IP()
    # TESTING - Force IP
    internet_IP = "0.0.0.0"

Also the section beginning in line 702 from:

    # Check Internet connectivity
    internet_IP = get_internet_IP()
        # TESTING - Force IP
        # internet_IP = ""

to

    # Check Internet connectivity
    # internet_IP = get_internet_IP()
        # TESTING - Force IP
    internet_IP = "0.0.0.0"

In my test environment it worked in offline mode. Here below again the links to the corresponding lines.
