Gramps web ... looks cool if only I could import my data (lemmy.ml)

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.

How bloody annoying! Trying to move the tree to another VM and exported *.gramps file from other VM where it was working but get the same problem around the database being locked. It means that the GRAMPSWEB_TREE: setting in the compose file makes no difference. Makes no difference whether I try importing as admin. This is also a single tree setup. This issue is really annoying. Wish the docs referenced it.
