A project seeking to give individuals the opportunity to host their own family tree website.
This project is designed for you to host yourself. I recommend using Heroku for this and the readme will assume you are, but the instructions should be transferrable to other hosting platforms. PRs welcome to improve this!
Some default variables will need to change when you run the container in a production environment. You can change these via the host UI (Heroku).
Value | Description |
---|---|
HOST_URL | The host for your app. eg 'my-family-tree.herokuapp.com' |
FAMILY_NAME | A family name for your tree. Defaults to 'Smith'. |
If you fork this repo and want to keep the GitHub Actions working, you'll need to set these in Settings > Secrets
in your repo:
Value | Description |
---|---|
HEROKU_APP_NAME | The name of your app, eg 'my-family-tree' |
HEROKU_API_KEY | The API key for your Heroku account, can be found on this page |
HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_SILVER_URL | (optional) A connection URI for a remote test database, used in GitHub Action |
