What is Family Connections?

Family Connections (FCMS) is a private social networking application for families and small groups, written in PHP and MySQL. It provides shared photos, discussions, a calendar and a family tree behind password protection. Its last stable release, 3.8.0, was published in 2018.

How to install Family Connections on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, Family Connections is live

Project status: The latest stable release, 3.8.0, dates from August 2018; the only later release on the official GitHub repository is a 4.0.0 alpha from February 2019, which the developer describes as far from feature complete. No stable release in the last three years. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

Licence: GPL-2.0 · Built with: PHP + MySQL · Official site: github.com/ryanhowdy/fcms

Common uses

Private family website
Small club or group sharing photos
Family tree and event planning

Family Connections requirements

Database: MySQL

Family Connections installs by uploading files and running an installer, and it needs PHP and MySQL. Its upstream has not published a stable release since 2018, so review security and PHP compatibility before use.

Family Connections Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Its last stable release, 3.8.0, was published in August 2018, and the only later release is a 2019 alpha of version 4.0. We classify it as unmaintained, so consider the security implications before using it for private family data.

It is a PHP and MySQL application. The repository README describes uploading the files to a web host and running the install script, but it does not state exact PHP versions, so test on your chosen PHP version.

Open the Softaculous one-click installer in cPanel, select Family Connections, enter your domain and admin details, and install. It typically takes a few clicks and needs no manual upload.

Yes in principle: it needs only PHP and MySQL and does not require special server access. Because upstream development has stopped, restrict who can register and keep regular backups of your photos and database.

Yes. Family Connections is open-source software released under the GPL-2.0 licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.

Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Family Connections alongside other apps in its category (Social Networking), such as pH7Builder and Dolphin, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.

Family Connections is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.

Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.
