    So, I’ve done exactly this with gramps. I used a NUC running proxmox at my home.

    I created a very simple https server with turnkey nginx running on the NUC proxmox instance. I host the gramps database exports there via a simple HTML page.

    Tied it to a domain name and sent the link to my family, with instructions to install gramps and import the database.

    EDIT: I used Let’s Encrypt for the SSL keys







  • My dad told me a story once.

    When he was young (1950’s), he and his dad were spraying a field in the Mississippi Delta. He decided to get off the tractor to walk around and try to catch some toads. He eventually got tired and found some flowers, picked them and laid down to take a nap holding the flowers over his belly. At the end of the day his dad started looking for him. After a while his dad found him, laying in the field with flowers over his belly. He thought he was dead.


  • I’ve used the same Arch install from about 2018. Regular updates, several AUR packages (pikaur), a migrate to md raid home and root, encrypted root/home, major hardware upgrades; all with no issues.

    The removal of python 2 was the hardest thing I’ve had to handle; but that really wasn’t difficult with understanding of the package manager.
