What you can build with Geneac
Geneac is an open-source Ruby on Rails application for sharing genealogy research on the web. It presents people, relationships, photos, and notes in a wiki-style format that visitors can browse, while administrators manage the underlying family tree from an authenticated backend. The data model is purpose-built for genealogy — individuals, families, source citations, edit history, and tagging are first-class concepts rather than retrofitted blog posts.
Self-hosting Geneac keeps decades of family research, scanned documents, and private notes on your own server, where access is controlled entirely by you. The application uses SQLite and local file storage, so a single persistent volume captures the complete site and can be backed up as a regular file copy without database tooling.
Key features of Geneac
Log aur Rishtay
Record individuals with birth, death, and biographical details, then link them through parent, spouse, and child relationships to build a navigable family tree.
Photos and Documents
Attach scanned photographs, certificates, and source documents to people and notes through Active Storage, with image processing handled by libvips.
Research Notes
Capture biographical narratives and research findings as long-form notes that can be tagged and cross-linked to the people they describe.
Tagging and Search
Organize content with the acts-as-taggable-on engine so surnames, locations, and themes can be filtered across people, photos, and notes.
Authenticated Admin
Devise-powered registration, login, and admin role grants protect editing while keeping the published site openly browsable to family members.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
