Hello,
We love QGIS, and have been using it for years, but from a standpoint of a
single user developing maps that we share as PDFs, etc. For our production
maps, we are using PostGreSQL (without PostGIS) for data, mapping layers via
queries to that DB in umap, a middleware project that then displays those
layers in Open Street Maps. It's been working pretty well for us despite some
bugs (https://prod.chicommons.coop), but we want to introduce other views,
write articles that point out specific analysis, etc. Also, we want multiple
people to have access to the data and map project(s) to produce these views and
articles. Here's the use case:
Use PostGreSQL/PostGIS to store the data (we're finalizing a normalized DB
architecture that will be robust enough to capture the information on which we
want to focus)
We have an application that allows crowd-sourcing of the data, combined with
curation by an admin to ensure that it meets our standards and fits our
criteria.
Use QGIS to develop layers querying the DB and views that we want to publish.
Ideally, it must allow
Multiple users to be editing the database concurrently
Multiple users to be working on the QGIS project concurrently.
Versioning retaining authority for the master version.
Use QGIS with the leaflet plugin (and potentially other plugins, to be
researched and implemented) to publish the views
Our question is how to set up QGIS Server, Desktop, and PostGreSQL/PostGIS to
meet these goals.
Should we have individual workers
use their desktop version and connect to stored projects and shape files in
PostGreSQL/PostGIS?
Use their desktop version and connect to QGIS Server?
Use their web browser and connect to the QGIS Server?
Thanks for your pointers.
