In my deployment, my DB has only one name. This was a test DB. I do not get the prompt and now cannot proceed basically.

Is this perhaps https://github.com/DavidMStraub/Gramps.js/issues/12?

Q1: Can we have multiple DBs?

No, currently the Web API is limited to a single DB. What is your use case? It would complicate a lot of things, e.g. database-dependent permissions…

mind if I try to contribute to the Wiki?

Please PLEASE do!

Writing an article tends to reveal issues that were overlooked. And, while it is nice to have an outline by the programmer, user docs tend to turn out better when written by someone who did NOT know what the programmer intended. (Then the programmer tells us about the Easter Eggs that were missed!)

Here’s a link on how to take advantage of a templates when write a tutorial style article for the wiki:

The article written for your site in Jan 2023 was very inviting. I haven’t used that kind of NAS so am not qualified to comment on the content. But maybe (with your permission) @DavidMStraub can integrate it into the main site or suggest how it can be included in the Wiki? (The wiki is lamentably thin on Gramps Web information.)
