The software is downloadable from using the server’s wget command. The Webtrees software is not included in Gentoo’s portage tree, but installation is simple nonetheless. Here’s what I went through to get it running. Debugging the SELinux permission errors took some time, and got much easier once I learned how properly troubleshoot. Now that I have a server machine running Linux and a LAMP stack accessible via the internet, I’m ready to install the Webtrees software.

  • Tweaking the default PHP configuration.
  • Installing ‘intl’ and preparing the data folder.
  • I'll take a look at the options you've suggested to see if they fit, much appreciated for the suggestions.⬅️ Previous post: Getting online with LAMP and No-IP I'm honestly not sure that I'll ever have enough data to justify needing GEDCOM exports - this is really more of a "build it and see if they come" project.

    I might, however, lock down read access to signed up users only, and include some kind of manual approval for sign up (again, not sure if Mediawiki can do this). That said, I probably want to approve any new pages or edits - I was hoping Mediawiki supports this. I don't want to have too much of a barrier to submitting information, because the whole point of the project is to try and figure this stuff out.

    I sort of agree with you in terms of edit level - I don't think I'd want Wikipedia level of open editing, but the basic fact is that a lot of information about my family simply doesn't exist in official records (Romany Gypsy heritage, my father's birthday is a guess at the general date of his birth rather than based on hospital records so could be out by up to a couple of months either way), so collaborative information is about the best I can do.

Personally, I like to create a static site (i.e. (GEDCOM files are the de facto standard for moving around genealogical information.) From here, pick a website generator that can consume your GEDCOM export. Pick yourself a (desktop) genealogy program (I like RootsMagic, and even their free version is very capable) the only hard requirement is that it can import and export GEDCOM files. If you're okay with the online version being static, then your options open up considerably.

    Now multiply that by thousands of people over hundreds of years across multiple continents.Īs well, to find a good genealogy program is hard, and so to find one that runs on a web server is a considerable limit on a very narrow field. To give you but one example: my grandmother's sister completed the death certificate when her father (my great grandfather) died, but put down the wrong birthdate.
