glx serve

Serve a local browser-based viewer for a GLX archive (prints a URL to open)

Synopsis

Serve a read-only, browser-based viewer for a GENEALOGIX archive.

Starts a small local web server and prints a URL to open in your browser (it does not open the browser for you). The viewer is interactive and shows:

• Dashboard: entity counts, assertion confidence, and coverage
• Person profiles: names, vitals, event timeline, assertions with evidence
• Family tree: interactive pedigree and descendancy charts
• Sources: every source with its citations and locators

The server binds to localhost by default so the archive stays on your machine. The archive is loaded once at startup; restart the server to pick up external edits made by the CLI or a text editor.

Accepts either a multi-file directory or a single .glx file. If no path is given, the current directory is used.

glx serve [path] [flags]

Examples

  # Serve the current directory on the default port
  glx serve

  # Serve a specific archive
  glx serve my-family-archive

  # Serve a single-file archive on a custom port
  glx serve family.glx --port 9000

  # Pick any free port (printed on startup)
  glx serve --port 0

Options

  -h, --help          help for serve
      --host string   Host/interface to bind (use 127.0.0.1 to keep the viewer local) (default "127.0.0.1")
  -p, --port int      Port to listen on (0 picks any free port) (default 8080)

Options inherited from parent commands

  -q, --quiet   Suppress non-error output (where supported)
