Gramps Web is a self hostable ancestry archiving server. It's like ancestry.com but hosted by you so you know where all your data is. I'm using this to build up my family tree because I know I'll probably care about this stuff one day lol.

Here's the link to the demo, the username and password are both "owner." If you're already using another ancestry site to do these things, you should know that it's not as hard as you'd think to transfer your data into Gramps Web.

Here's the official docker-compose.yml file.

Update: a few weeks ago (around November 2025) they finally added OIDC (SSO) support to the main branch, and they added DARK MODE!!
