Is it possible (and do I have most features) to install Flukso only in the local network ? I don't want to send all my information about my elec/gas/water to a public space.
Yes you may use the FLM locally, but then the fun is away ;-) See https://www.flukso.net/content/report-energy-data-own-server
As the FLM is a "community meter", its main purpose is to view and compare own consumption within the Flukso community (so not generally public) and learn about own "Negawatts" - for local use only you may use an own server, of course, connecting to either the json/REST-API or the MQTT broker implemented in the current firmware (that works freakingly well - see https://www.flukso.net/content/mqtt-mq-telemetry-transport)
All of the FLM is open source; so if you mean by "most features" the FLM's hardware capability to post current or pulse measurements to a LAN/WLAN target, yes; if you want the soft(ware) side of "compare, exchange, evolve, off-the-shelf visualization", no, then you have to at least set this part up for yourself...
By the way, NSA knows, even when you think you are in a LAN only ;-)

Big thx for that info Gebhardm !
I don't bother about NSA ;-) , but I don't want strangers to know when I'm away... there should be a "only local" server on the FLM.
I see all code on Github, but I don't think it is that easy to put it on a server ? I don't think it's just building an Apache web server and throw all that code on it ? Where is all that data going (not in a text file I suppose) ?

if you want to use it just locally you may go for the MQTT option. First try to connect via a proper client to get local readings, then seek to use an existing web visualization... Actually no real need to go for the web server option locally. Use a search engine, e.g. duckduckgo.com with parameters site=flukso.net mqtt to see, what others have already done
