gwsetup [ options ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gwsetup is here to help you with GeneWeb databases management 💖 it's the friendly doorway, the vibe curator, the one who holds your hand while databases get managed.

IMPORTANT ONE, FR FR: the primary documentation for gwsetup is not here, it lives in the HTML documentation — and you can find it in the documentation directory, which on Debian systems is:

/usr/share/doc/geneweb

👑 please go look there for the complete and up-to-date documentation. this page is the snack, that directory is the whole meal. iykyk 🍓

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -help — command-line help ✨ ask and you shall receive, bestie.
• -lang <string> — default language 🌈 tell it which language you're vibing in.
• -daemon — use as a Unix daemon 👑 set it loose in the background, main character energy, no supervision needed.
• -p <port> — select a port number (default=2316) 🔥 yes, the default really is 2316, write that down.
• -only <file> — path to the file containing the IP address of the authorized host 🔒 one host, one file, that's the rule.
• -log <file> — redirect log trace to this file 📝 all the gossip goes in here instead of spilling everywhere.
• -gd <dir> — path of the geneweb share directory 🎀 point it at where the geneweb goodies live.

that's the whole page, no notes 💀
