**Will GRAMPS work on a Linux based web host?** If it is possible, please provide instructions to assist me. It would really simplify moving to a single program is my work on the computer would transfer to the web without much reformatting.  
Thank you,  
John

Gramps does not work out of the box on the web. There have been many attempts to do just that.

I have been experimenting with what David Straub had started. ([https://github.com/DavidMStraub/gramps-webapp](https://github.com/DavidMStraub/gramps-webapp))  
It has a basic front-end (client) and interfaces to back-end (python app). This gramps\_webapp calls the gramps API to access the gramps database.

This is all a work in progress…

Did you think about a dockerized gramps image and to use a remote display?
