Is Gramps Web Sync adaptable for broader use?

For me, gramps-web is not the solution.
It is too difficult to install on a real web server like apache or nginx.
You have too many parameters to set and they are not well documented.

docker is a good solution for small local server but not for a professional usage.

Hi @SNoiraud,

I understand and respect your opinion, certainly Gramps Web is not the solution for everyone. And I also agree that the documentation is lacking. But on this I need more support. I did invest some hours of work into documentation improvements last week though, see Update user docs · gramps-project/web@200dd70 · GitHub.

What I find contradictory, to be honest, is your statement that it’s “too difficult” and “not for professional use”. I think for many average users, it’s too difficult, agreed. But for a professional? I don’t think so (well, depends on the profession I guess). And a professional can look at the source code and decide for themselves what the best deployment option is.

My approach is to enable professional/proficient administrators to deploy hosted servers for less proficient users. Grampshub is an example. I’m using Kubernetes and I would not accept the label unprofessional for this setup.
