Thank you Dennis, and sorry for taking a while to respond. I had to get our technician to set up a Geoserver, which is now done and the GeoTiff is uploaded.
I (and the technician!) have some problems understanding the following steps. I have tried to read the documentation but I don't get that very well either. Could you please expand? I assume that these things have to be handled through the command line interface, which I'm not very savvy with yet.
