Hi! My question is: Can somebody point out a working setup for a Qgis Linux cloud server? I terms of Linux distribution, Qgis version, mode for remote access and so on. Life is too short to test more variables.
For the last couple of weeks, I have explored the world of virtual cloud Linux servers and Qgis. A painstaking endeavor, I might add. My goal is to set up a stable Qgis server instance, with QGIS 3 on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic. I want to run QGIS desktop on the same server for map design and have remote desktop (VNC or RDP) access from a Windows machine. The server shall also run a current Postgresql/Postgis instance. I have tried Google cloud instances, Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure but these fell through because of clunky admin interfaces and bad remote access. I did not even get so far as to install Qgis on them. The most successful attempt so far is on City Cloud, a Swedish cloud provider. After hours of trial and error, and several machines scrapped along the way, I managed to get the above setup up and running, serving a couple of live wms services. Then, for no reason, Qgis desktop fell out of the game. It crashes invariably and instantly when touching the zoom in/zoom-out icons (key shortcuts as well). No trace, no error message, just vaporware. And I mean that I just click the icon, I do not even get a chance to hit the canvas before it dies. Oddly enough, it worked initially for a few days. No point in filing a bug for this, as no one will be able to reproduce my setup. There is no remotely close bug report, either. I have a hunch that the problem comes from the gui system, the vnc server or both. That is why I need advice on a stable working setup.
