→Is Gramps Web an add-on within Gramps?
Gramps Web is a separate project based on the same code base as Gramps Desktop. It uses the Gramps Python library at its core to provide a REST API backend service leveraging the genealogical functions and database handling of Gramps. On top, it serves a modern, mobile-first web frontend.
===Creating a Gramps Web instance===
Configuring a Gramps Web instance on your own server or hosted service is an EXPERT level task. But there are deployment options using a '''[https://containerjournal.com/uncategorized/docker-containers-help-end-users/ Docker] container''' and a turnkey '''"[https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/gramps-web 1-click App]"''' offered as a service if you have a (paid) Digital Oceans droplet account.
===Uploading fresh tree data to Gramps Web===
'''[https://github.com/DavidMStraub/gramps-addon-webapisync Gramps Web Sync]''' addon snychronizes the Gramps Web online database with Gramps Desktop from the {{man menu|Tools -> Family Tree Processing}} submenu. It supports import and export genealogical data in all formats supported by Gramps.
