Yes, this is now (2022) possible with [[Gramps Web]]. Since the project is in an early stage, remember This would enable my relations worldwide to frequently [[How_to_make_a_backup|generate backups]] when you use this on your genealogical dataaccess and update it.
===Can I install Gramps on a Linux Web Server and use it via a web browser? ===
While Gramps can generate web sites, it does not provide a web interface that allows for editing. If this is a requirement, then [http://geneweb.org GeneWeb] or [http://www.webtrees.net/ webtrees] are programs more likely to meet your needs. Also have a look at experimental [https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-online gramps-online]. However, you may wish to ask yourself the following questions:
# Do I really want relatives or other people to directly edit my genealogy database?
# Do I implicitly trust, without verification, any data that people may enter?
# Do these people have the same understanding of good genealogy practice that I have?
A better approach may be to provide a web form interface that allows others to enter data that is then held for your examination. You can then decide if the information should be entered into your database.
You may also want to consider the effects of possible downtime of your site if you cannot afford yourself a premium webhosting service.
