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 docker-geneweb -p2316:2316 -p2317:2317 -v ${HOME}/GenealogyData:/genewebData docker-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

Please be patient the setup tool will be installed "on the fly" only upon the first start if you don't have any genealogy database.

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 docker-geneweb /start_setup.sh

and then navigate to [http://localhost:2316]

Shutdown

To shutdown the container just run

docker stop docker-geneweb
docker rm docker-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 docker-geneweb /start_setup.sh

and then navigate to [http://localhost:2316]
