How to use a postgresql database for grampsweb?

Help

Ok, so first of all: great stuff! Never thought doing a bit of history into my forefathers would be so much fun :slight_smile:

That said, I reaaallly want to have my database reside in my central PostgreSQL database, and I reaaaally want to use grampsweb across different machines, and I simply cannot get it to work.

I have trouble telling the grampsweb that I want my tree in a database. The search database and user database seem to work, but I am confused by how I’m supposed to use a postgresql database for the tree itself.

The docs tell me to use POSTGRES_USER and POSTGRES_PASSWORD but strangely doesn’t seem to talk about POSTGRES_HOST and POSTGRES_PORT. Those parameters do seem to be present in the config.py file in the gramps-web-api repo, but whatever variables I provide to the container as environment variables or in config.cfg, grampsweb keeps using the sqlite database.

Am I missing something? What’s the trick here? :confused:

I am in the process of setting up Gramps/Gramps Web and Postgresql on my own system. I am following this thread and will comment as I find stuff out.
