docker-geneweb

Dockerized installation of Geneweb

The container does not include gwsetup by default but this is only installed once to create a database

hint: gwsetup is the program to create a genealogy database initially

Usage

Usually you want to keep your database so to keep your data in an existing directory e.g. ${HOME}/GenealogyData

Just run the container:

docker run --env LANGUAGE=de -d --name geneweb -p2316:2316 -p2317:2317 -v ${HOME}/GenealogyData:/genewebData schuellerf/geneweb:latest

and go to http://localhost:2317

if you happen to have the git repository you can also execute:

./start.sh

note: the directory ${HOME}/GenealogyData has to be a full path

Setup

The setup will be started automatically http://localhost:2316 if no database can be found

If you start the container and you already have a database but you want more databases or do some backup you need to start the setup manually like so:

docker exec geneweb /start_setup.sh

and then navigate to http://localhost:2316

Shutdown

To shutdown the container just run

docker stop geneweb
docker rm geneweb

Backup

If you need to do a backup just either backup your data folder (e.g. ${HOME}/GenealogyData)

To export the data as "*.ged" file or similar you need to start the "setup" tool

docker exec -ti geneweb /start_setup.sh
