I am taking a look at Gramps, which seems excellent for doing genealogy on a single computer. I am wondering if there is a service out there that I can host in my homelab and share with other family members so that they can help contribute.

Scott Abbey (Feb 20 2025 at 00:53):I believe there's a self-hosted web version of Gramps

@Ron Waldon-Howe it is temping to build my own UI with a graph DB... but I don't know if I want to open that can of worms. I would probably never get around to the actual genealogy part because I would enjoy building the app.
Scott Abbey (Feb 20 2025 at 13:40):One of the most painful lessons I never seem to learn is that sometimes using something that's readily available and does 90% of what I want is still better than trying to make my own that ultimately only hits 50% of what I want after hours/days/weeks of work.
