Gramps Web is a web app developed by the Gramps community that allows to collaboratively edit genalogical information using a Gramps family tree database.

This is based on the same code base as Gramps Desktop. It uses the Gramps Python library at its core to provide a REST API backend service leveraging the genealogical functions and database handling of Gramps. On top, it serves a modern, mobile-first web frontend.

Configuring a Gramps Web instance on your own server or hosted service is an EXPERT level task. But there deployment options using a Docker container and a turnkey "1-click App" offered as a service if you have a (paid) Digital Oceans droplet account.

Gramps Web Sync addon snychronizes the Gramps Web online database with Gramps Desktop from the Tools -> Family Tree Processing submenu. It supports import and export genealogical data in all formats supported by Gramps.

See the project documentation on GitHub.

Early adopters can try Gramps Web starting 1st quarter of 2022

Since the project is in an early stage, remember to frequently generate backups when you use this tool with your genealogical data.

Gramps Web is a full Gramps instance running on a web server that you can synchronize with your Desktop Gramps. Admittedly, installing it is not trivial. This is an Expert level task. There is a Docker container to simplify the deployment somewhat.

The easiest option at the moment is described here: Gramps Web 1-click app using a (for pay) droplet account on DigitalOcean.
