# Home assistant add-on: Grampsweb


I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons

If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

## Installation

---

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other add-on.

1. Add my add-ons repository to your home assistant instance (in supervisor addons store at top right, or click button below if you have configured my HA)
   [![Open your Home Assistant instance and show the add add-on repository dialog with a specific repository URL pre-filled.](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/supervisor_add_addon_repository.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/supervisor_add_addon_repository/?repository_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Falexbelgium%2Fhassio-addons)
1. Install this add-on.
1. Click the `Save` button to store your configuration.
1. Set the add-on options to your preferences
1. Start the add-on.
1. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
1. Open the webUI and set up your first user account

## First Time Setup

---

After starting the addon for the first time:

1. Navigate to the web interface
2. Create an admin user account
3. Set up your genealogy database
4. Import existing GEDCOM files or start creating your family tree
5. Configure user permissions and sharing settings

## Data Storage

The addon stores data in several locations within the `/config` directory:
- **Database**: `/config/config/` - Main Gramps database files
- **Media**: `/config/media/` - Photos, documents, and other media files
- **Users**: `/config/users/` - User accounts and authentication data
- **Cache**: `/config/cache/` - Temporary files and reports
- **Search Index**: `/config/indexdir/` - Search indexing data

## Backup Recommendations

For data safety, regularly backup:
- The entire `/config` directory (contains all data)
- Export GEDCOM files from the web interface
- Document your user accounts and permissions

## Performance Tuning

- **CELERY_NUM_WORKERS**: Adjust based on your system's CPU cores
- **GUNICORN_NUM_WORKERS**: Increase for more concurrent users
- Consider using an external MySQL/PostgreSQL database for better performance
