New generation of GIS.lab Web infrastructure for publishing QGIS projects in Web.

• building GIS.lab Web bundle from any QGIS Desktop project
• adding base layers
• creating topics from layers list
• setting access constraints
• setting project expiration

• responsive web design
• topics
• base and overlay layers
• legend
• identification (WFS)
• attribute table data filtering (WFS)
• measurement - coordinates, length, area
• print

• dedicated hybrid Android client interface built on top of the same code base as web inteface with native UI

• built-in automatic tiles caching

• QGIS Desktop and Mapserver
• OpenLayers 3
• AngularJS, Angular UI, Angular Material
• Onsen
• Cordova
• Django
• Python

• clients: web and mobile client interfaces
• server: Django server
• qgis: QGIS plugin
• provision: development environment provisioning configuration (Vagrant/Ansible)
• dev: development directory
• dev/django: directory for Django development project created during provisioning
• dev/publish: directory for QGIS projects publishing

Dependencies:

• Linux or Mac
• Git
• VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• Ansible 1.9 (version 2 is not supported yet)

Creating development environment:

• clone source code with Git

$ git clone https://github.com/gislab-npo/gislab-web.git

• optionaly enable GIS.lab Mobile by adding configuration variable to 'provision/host_vars/gislab-web' file

GISLAB_CLIENT_MOBILE: yes

• start development environment (run in source code root directory)
  Note: to speed up provisioning using Apt proxy server, set APT_PROXY variable before running this command ($ export APT_PROXY=http://192.168.99.118:3142). See Apt Cacher server instructions for details.

$ vagrant up

• log in to virtual machine (run in source code root directory)

$ vagrant ssh

• start development services (run in virtual machine)

$ /vagrant/utils/tmux-dev.sh

• enter URL below in web browser to launch GIS.lab Web

https://localhost:8000?PROJECT=vagrant/natural-earth/central-europe

• to quit type

$ tmux kill-session
$ vagrant halt

Other commands:

• run server tests (run in '/vagrant/dev/django' dir)

$ python ./manage.py test webgis.viewer.tests

Other information:

• QGIS Mapserver is also forwarded to host machine on port 8090
• QGIS Mapserver logs can be found in '/var/log/lighttpd' directory

Workflow:

• install QGIS GIS.lab Web plugin

$ ln -s $(pwd)/qgis/gislab_web  ~/.qgis2/python/plugins/gislab_web

• create project in QGIS Desktop

• run QGIS GIS.lab Web plugin wizard from 'Web > GIS.lab Web' to publish QGIS project

• copy published QGIS project with all associated data to 'dev/publish' directory

• open GIS.lab Web User Console and launch published project in GIS.lab Web interface

TODO: add instructions how to clean environment before build

• GIS.lab Web QGIS plugin

$ cd /vagrant/qgis/gislab_web \
  && \
  make clean \
  && \
  make compile \
  && \
  make zip

• GIS.lab Web

$ cd /vagrant/server \
  && \
  python ./setup.py sdist

• GIS.lab Mobile

$ nvm use stable

$ export ANDROID_HOME=/home/vagrant/dev/apps/android-sdk-linux \
         PATH=$PATH:/home/vagrant/dev/apps/android-sdk-linux/tools:/home/vagrant/dev/apps/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools \
         ANDROID_BUILD=ant \
  && \
  cd /vagrant/clients/mobile/cordova-app \
  && \
  cordova build android
