Hi everybody, If you want to use the latest stable GDAL, for example on a newly installed Linux machine to do some fast raster data processing with the command-line utilities, and you need drivers like MrSID, ECW or Kakadu JPEG2000, you may very probably end up compiling everything yourself. It takes time and you need to install a lot of dev packages extra to deploy the working environment.
That's why we created a minimal GDAL in Docker container (about 350MB). On any computer with Docker installed (see https://docs.docker.com/installation/#installation) you can download and run any GDAL utility with a single command. For example gdalinfo on yourfile.tif stored in local directory: $ docker run -ti --rm -v $(pwd):/data klokantech/gdal gdalinfo yourfile.tif and similar with other GDAL tools. For more details see: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/klokantech/gdal/ and our blog post: http://blog.klokantech.com/2015/02/gdal-in-docker-install-run-with-single.html This Docker container has been made to simplify distribution of MapTiler Pro, the follower of my GDAL2Tiles, which is now available from http://www.maptiler.com/. Thanks everybody for the great work on GDAL! I hope you find our docker container useful.
