Family Tree Generator

This project entails building a family tree from scratch using django and html/css on the frontend.

A working demo can be seen here Working demo. This handles more than 800 family records over many generations. Also has an admin area for member management.

This is a hobby project, with no financial incentive.

Getting started

1. Create an SQL database (Postgres, MySQL, SQLite etc.) and create a settings.env file in the root directory. An example of settings.env will be:

(fill in appropriately)

SECRET_KEY=''
DB_PASSWORD="password"
DB_HOST="localhost"
DB_PORT="5432"
DB_USER=""
DB_NAME=""

2. Run the following command on the command line to set the respective environement variables:

source setup.sh

3. Create models and tables in your db with Django

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

4. Start the django server

python manage.py runserver

5. You can then populate your family tree on /admin
