Hi, installed the gramps web container using the default installation with this docker file where the only thing I changed was the port number. Having read this it woudl appear that I need not do anything unless I want to build a multi-tree environment (not my case for now).
When I import the *gramps file I have from the desktop version, it says database is locked. I get internal server error if I try setting a Home Person under "Family Tree" which looks pretty empty at the moment.
There seems to be an option to unlock the database here but this stuff seems to be related to the desktop app rather than the web app. Any thoughts?
EDIT; Makes no difference whether I'm doing the above as administrator or contributor user.
EDI2: not sure if this made a difference but changed the GRAMPSWEB_TREE: to match the tree name I have in the desktop app and now it did import. Must be the fact that it is configured as single tree and it expects the tree name that is being imported to match the tree name that is registered in the yaml file.
I can't help you so I'm going to rant about something not related.
Gramps is great once it's up and running but it's so frustrating that you cant add a person and just add a residence or wedding date or birth. Noooo, you need to create the events and locations first and then create the person and link the events to them.
Which is basically the opposite way humans think about lifetimes. I would kill for a feature of "Create new birth/wedding/etc event" from the person page.
Genuinely got a chuckle from me.
😂 It wasn't until I was finished typing out my comment that I realized I was doing the classic Lemmy thing of just wholly ignoring OP and ranting about something tangential.
I may not be able to control myself but at least I can acknowledge my poor behavior!
