Installation

Requirements

You should have installed docker and docker-compose. See the useful links section further down.

Get it

git clone https://github.com/ftrojahn/geneweb-start.git
cd geneweb-start

... or download the docker-compose.yml to a new directory, create sub directory data/ there.

Feel free to fork the repo and adjust to your needs.

Setup

If applicable, put your GeneWeb export file (.gw) OR your Gedcom file (.ged) in the folder data/ as database.gw OR database.ged.

If one of those files exist, the database in data/bases/database.gwb will be created. After the import, the file will be renamed to *.imported, so no reimport will take place eventually.

If neither file nor data/bases/database.gwb exists, an empty database will be created

You can put your settings into data/bases/database.gwf, templates, images, language files in data/etc/, data/lang etc.

Please, edit the docker-compose.yml to

• set the default language

• set the admin password (i.e. "wizard"/"magicien"), which will otherwise be autocreated: in this case you find it in data/wizard_passwd

• have geneweb restarted automagically or not.

Start

to see the log:

docker-compose up

in background as daemon:

docker-compose up -d

Stop

docker-compose stop if run in daemon mode. Otherwise hit Ctrl+C
