GC2/Vidi: What’s new in spatial data infrastructure project The GC2/Vidi platform helps you build a spatial data infrastructure quickly and easily. Powered using open source components for a scalable solution focused on freedom rather than fees. GC2/Vidi comprises two software projects: - GC2 – makes it easy to deploy PostGIS, MapServer, QGIS Server, MapCache, Elasticsearch, GDAL/OGR. And offers an easy-to-use browser application to configure the software stack. - Vidi – a modern take on browser GIS. It is the front-end client for GC2. The GC2/Vidi project is released under GPL and accepted as an OSGeo Community Project in 2018. The talk gives a brief overview of the platform and summarizes the capabilities it has to offer. A new CLI tool (Command Line Tool), which enables administration, import/export of data, starting MapCache seed jobs, running SQLs and more will be introduced. In addition, the new "GC2/Vidi User Group" will be introduced. It is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the adoption of GC2/Vidi and the underlying technologies as well as knowledge sharing. The organization was founded in 2020 and has about 15 members, including municipalities, public transport and private companies. |
