[Geoserver-users] Geoserver on Debian: GDAL-libraries

2018-07-17 Thread Ville Koivisto
Hi everyone, 

 

Apologies if my question is obvious, Linux is something new to me. All tips
are appreciated. I have two questions: 

 

1) I'm looking to install GDAL native libraries for my Linux Debian server.
But Debian seems not to be listed on this download page
(https://demo.geo-solutions.it/share/github/imageio-ext/releases/native/gdal
/1.9.2/linux/). Is Debian not supported for GDAL or what am I missing? 

 

2) A client to whom I'm preparing the Geoserver has handed me some ECW-files
and as far as I understand this has been debuted a bit concerning it's
license. Can anyone elaborate on usage restrictions of ECW-files on a server
environment as of today? The client is a municipality and intended use is
non-commercial (different definitions of course exist). Assumable, they
don't have a license, but rather a third party data provider has simply
handed the data sets in ecw-format. 

 

Cheers,

 

Ville Koivisto

2018-07-17 Thread Ville Koivisto
Good morning,

 

Thanks for answering. My overall goal is to enable ECW as a file format for my 
geoserver (2.13.1) which installed on a server using Debian 9 as OS. I’m 
following these instructions: 

http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/raster/gdal.html 

 

We followed through the tutorial once with my colleague, but no luck. GDAL 
popped up to modules list under server status tab, but it has a warning sign. 
New formats weren’t enabled. Now we’re going through the steps once again 
trying to troubleshoot the problem. I’m still a newbie when it comes to Linux 
and geoserver so it might be something obvious…

 

Could you point me to source from which you downloaded a proper GDAL library 
for Debian? How did you know to use 1.9.2? As I said below, it seems not to be 
listed here: 

https://demo.geo-solutions.it/share/github/imageio-ext/releases/native/gdal/1.9.2/linux/

2018-07-18 Thread Ville Koivisto
Hi Jukka and others, 

 

Thanks for the advice, that’s how I’ll probably do it since our client won’t
assumable ever get the license from Hexagon. I read somewhere that usage of
ecw on a server would be legal for educational purposes (i.e. universities
and such) and for non-commercial purposes. Unfortunately same source
declared that government wouldn’t be counted as non-commercial (in my case
the client is a municipality). 

 

I’m struggling a bit to convert the ecw to geotiff. It seems to be due to
8bit data type requirement that JPEG compression has. I get the following
error message in QGIS (raster --> translate [gdal_translate]): 

 

ERROR 1: JPEGSetupEncode:BitsPerSample 16 not allowed for JPEG 

ERROR 1: JPEGSetupEncode:BitsPerSample 32 not allowed for JPEG 

ERROR 1: An error occurred while writing a dirty block

 

My ecw has three bands and according to gdalinfo has data type of byte. I’ve
asked the same question here: 

https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/289780/how-to-transform-raster-in-ec
w-format-to-a-geotiff-with-jpeg-compression-probl 

 

Perhaps you’re more experienced with gdal_translate?

Hi,

 

Have you considered to convert your ECW files into tiled, JPEG compressed
GeoTIFF files? That way you could achieve about the same file size with
slightly decreased quality because of second round of lossy compression.
>From my experience the quality loss is harmless. GeoTIFFs have good native
support in Geoserver and you would not need to acquire the ECW license from
Hexagon that is otherwise needed if you want to use ECW files with a server
application.

 

Problems with adding GDAL image formats are quite common. I wonder what
should be done for making the installation easier. GDAL 1.9 is very old and
no software should rely on that version while the current version is 2.2.2.

Something does not seem to match with gdalinfo and the error message. Data type 
Byte means 8-bit and it should convert fine into jpeg-in-tiff.

Re: [Geoserver-users] SLD styling in production environment

2018-11-08 Thread Ville Koivisto
Hi to all,

 

Thanks you very much for all the input. Five replies and four different 
suggestions though.  I guess people are divided into different camps with this 
one 

 

The problem that I find with the Geoserver’s own SLD editor is that for me it 
often validates SLD successfully, but when I implement it in a layer, it still 
doesn’t work (I’m offered a wms file, which implies broken styling afaik). 
Debugging is tedious since SLD files can be so long. 

 

I guess SLDeditor isn’t cabaple of importing SLD file from QGIS and then 
exporting it to a functioning SLD 1.0.0 file to be used in Geoserver? That 
would be really nice. In the very best scenario SLD export in QGIS would be 
fixed so that I could instruct our not-so-technical clients to produce their 
own styles with relative ease. I understand that this is still not happening in 
the near future.

 

I guess I’ll have to start learning CSS. 

 

Best regards,

Hi Andrea,

 

Thanks, I think this is not the first time you’ve pointed me to these 
resources. I’m surprised that you could only raise 500 euros…

 

Are there any future steps to be expected from anyone? Any public undertakings 
in order to develop the code? I’m not a developer myself, but I would 
definitely take a look out of interest. Geoserver/QGIS combo is quite 
well-spread in Finland. 

 

Why even have SLD export in QGIS if it doesn’t match requirements in Geoserver?

Hi, 

 

Thanks for the detailed answer. It’s a good hint to check geoserver logs, I 
didn’t realize that. 

 

I still think QGIS/Geoserver SLD matching would is important since clients 
(municipalities in my case) are often capable of creating a style in QGIS, but 
not writing CSS or SLD from a template. If we’re speaking about planners or 
engineers and so on, not about GIS personnel.

 

Hi Ville,

there has been some work on that direction, but it's suffering from lack of 
resourcing.

A few years ago QGIS SLD generator was emitting invalid SLD (sometimes not even 
valid XML), I have worked on a bunch of fixes for that in the FOSS4G 2016 code 
sprint, in Bonn, that got merged, and are available

in the latest versions of QGIS 2.18.x. You can read about them in this blog 
post: https://www.geo-solutions.it/blog/qgis-sld-export/

 

Then GeoSolutions started a crowdfunding initiative in 2016, links here:

*   Blog: 
https://www.geo-solutions.it/news/crowdfunding-qgis-geoserver-styling-interoperability/
*   Cost estimates for the various bits: 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10SXyCTBiu0KGaXrhyOPVGq6LE2SDx5CTJj5zrV6Xl4U/edit#gid=1338175208

The crowdfunding failed (did not even reach 500EUR), but OpenGeoGroep stepped 
in and provided funding for one item, the labelling export, which then landed 
in QGIS 3.0.

OSGeo UK also provided some small funds that we are (hopefully) going to use to 
start the raster export item.

 

We'd need to rally together some of those public administrations you're talking 
about and have them fund some of that work,

I'm quite sure it's not going to happen in any other way the clear need for 
it has been there for years, but significant movement

happened only with single person initiatives crushing a lot of spare time on 
it, or organisations large enough to fund a chunk of the work.

I was happy to do to the initial work to get the ball rolling, but it's just 
too big to do on my own, and I've been disappointed by

the community behavior around it, have no plans to continue it in the future 
during my spare time.

 

Cheers

Andrea

[Geoserver-users] Rasters showing correctly in layer preview, but won't load in QGIS through WMS

2018-11-12 Thread Ville Koivisto
Dear list, 

 

I have an issue, summed up in the message title. I have two rasters, one
ortophoto and one planning map which show correctly in layer preview in
Geoserver. The problem is that when I try to retrieve them via WMS in QGIS,
I can find them but they won't load. I have the same exact rasters in
another geoserver, and on a different server altogether, and from there I
can retrieve them to QGIS. There is a slight version difference, 2.13.2 vs.
2.13.0. 

 

Another raster is an image pyramid and another geotiff. I guess format is
not the issue, since behavior is shared between them. 

 

WMS is enabled, workspace is enable and WMS is checked as a service. 

 

I have following error messages in log (attached relevant log):

 

2018-11-12 14:18:47,584 ERROR [geoserver.ows] -

Re: [Geoserver-users] Rasters showing correctly in layer preview, but won't load in QGIS through WMS

Hi Andrea,

 

Answer to the question was special letters (Scandinavian) in Name property of 
the layers in question. Geoserver was able to preview as usual, but QGIS 
complained about an invalid token.

Dear list, 

 

I have an issue, summed up in the message title. I have two rasters, one 
ortophoto and one planning map which show correctly in layer preview in 
Geoserver. The problem is that when I try to retrieve them via WMS in QGIS, I 
can find them but they won’t load. I have the same exact rasters in another 
geoserver, and on a different server altogether, and from there I can retrieve 
them to QGIS. There is a slight version difference, 2.13.2 vs. 2.13.0. 

 

Another raster is an image pyramid and another geotiff. I guess format is not 
the issue, since behavior is shared between them. 

 

WMS is enabled, workspace is enable and WMS is checked as a service. 

 

I have following error messages in log (attached relevant log):

[Geoserver-users] SLD styling in production environment

2018-11-07 Thread Ville Koivisto
Dear list,

 

I need start working on with a bunch of styling with different layers.
Knowing Geoserver, alternatives are either SLD or CSS. Could someone more
experienced please enlighten me, what might be the most efficient way of
producing SLD styles when number of styled layers is high? 

 

Should I start learning CSS and go with that? 

 

Should I produce SLD styles with QGIS and then repair their mismatches which
are caused by version conflict? Or just start writing them in Geoserver
panel? Use Udig that can produce SLD 1.0.0 as I've heard? 

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

Kind regards,

Re: [Geoserver-users] SLD styling in production environment

2018-11-09 Thread Ville Koivisto
Hi, 

 

Thanks for the detailed answer. It’s a good hint to check geoserver logs, I 
didn’t realize that. 

 

I still think QGIS/Geoserver SLD matching would is important since clients 
(municipalities in my case) are often capable of creating a style in QGIS, but 
not writing CSS or SLD from a template. If we’re speaking about planners or 
engineers and so on, not about GIS personnel.

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] SLD styling in production environment

 

There are various ways styling go wrong but your choice of SLD editor or 
styling language don’t have a lot to do with it. If a SLD validates and draws a 
legend, (you need to check preview as well as there are valid SLD expressions 
that geoserver cant draw ) but fails on layer preview it is nearly always 
(maybe every time) a mismatch between property (or possibly layer) names used 
in the SLD and what is actually in the layer that the SLD is being applied to. 
Validate by itself isn’t enough. Unless you have a style editor that is tightly 
integrated to layer it being applied to, this is always going to be problem. 
All of the options work in a production environment but all of them require 
testing on actual layer. If you don’t have a copy of the production environment 
on a test server, then you can safely test by creating/editing the style with a 
new name, add it as an allowed style to the layer and in layer preview, press 
the … and change the style



If it fails, the geoserver log is usually pretty good at identifying the 
offending property in the SLD.

Hi to all,

 

Thanks you very much for all the input. Five replies and four different 
suggestions though.  I guess people are divided into different camps with this 
one 

 

The problem that I find with the Geoserver’s own SLD editor is that for me it 
often validates SLD successfully, but when I implement it in a layer, it still 
doesn’t work (I’m offered a wms file, which implies broken styling afaik). 
Debugging is tedious since SLD files can be so long. 

 

I guess SLDeditor isn’t cabaple of importing SLD file from QGIS and then 
exporting it to a functioning SLD 1.0.0 file to be used in Geoserver? That 
would be really nice. In the very best scenario SLD export in QGIS would be 
fixed so that I could instruct our not-so-technical clients to produce their 
own styles with relative ease. I understand that this is still not happening in 
the near future.

 

I guess I’ll have to start learning CSS. 

 

Best regards,

[Geoserver-users] Serving real time data with Geoserver - what's the go-to solution?

2019-01-20 Thread Ville Koivisto
Dear list, 

 

If you're willing I would like to hear your thoughts about the best
alternative for serving real time data with Geoserver. I've searched info
from different forums and so far I'm thinking Geomesa integrated to
Geoserver would be the go-to solution (https://www.geomesa.org/). 

 

Can anyone share any experiences with Geomesa for producing a proprietary
web map service for clients needing real time data? Any other alternatives
for Geomesa that we might want to take a look at?

2019-01-23 Thread Ville Koivisto
Hi all, 

 

Thank you for your answers, and sorry for my delayed one. I got struck with
a sudden spike of work. 

 

Our needs are yet to be defined more accurately. Let's say that our ideal
solution would handle importing and displaying near real-time data (let's
say updating once a minute), would be open source and would have a plug in
for Geoserver (or some other way of serving OGC standards). 

 

As far as I've understood for now, on paper both Geomesa and Geowave satisfy
the above. 

 

Any other recommendations or perhaps materials we could take a look at,
before we dwell further into this? I don't seem to find too much info when
googling about geoserver with real time data.

 

Thanks again,

2019-01-23 Thread Ville Koivisto
Hi Andrea, 

 

Your comment is appreciated. You also hit the nail on the head with your guess: 
we’re dealing with sensors attached to machinery along municipal road network. 
At first we’ll have, let’s say thousands of updates per minute. Postgis is 
already our current solution, we’ve just not yet configured it with Geoserver 
to handle near real time data (disabling caching for layers “real time layers” 
and so on, I guess). 

 

Still, we might later on incorporate larger data sources, and hit that very big 
data. This issue isn’t burning on our hands as of already now, we’re just 
making necessary steps in order to find the best backend design for v2 of our 
web map services. 

 

Thanks again for everyone who commented. You’re doing great work for the 
community. 

 

Best regards,

Hi Ville,

I believe you should also provide some more info on your use case, like, are 
you dealing with a lot of

data, do you maybe also have create on the fly aggregates out of it, or maybe 
out of streams of data, and the like?

If so, GeoWave/GeoMesa seem to fit your use case.

 

But if instead you're just dealing with a smaller number of datasets (e.g., the 
buses over a city, a company's trucks on a road network)

and you just need to do a few updates a minute (e.g. thousands) then maybe a 
more modest postgis storage is all you need

 

Cheers

Andrea

[Geoserver-users] Possible bug in data security rules if an access is granted to all roles

2022-02-28 Thread Ville Koivisto
Hi list,

I wanted to report this in Geoserver's Jira, but I had trouble logging in
(licenses have run out I guess). Please let me know if there is another
place or way to report bugs and I'm happy to do it.

We've run to a case in which a data security rule is dropped mysteriously.
I've documented this behavior in versions 2.19.2 and 2.20.2. You should be
able to repeat by:

- Installing Geoserver 2.20.2 (I used windows installer, localhost)
- Creating a workspace
- Creating a Postgis store (localhost as well; haven't tested other stores)
- Publishing a layer from the store
- Creating a data security rule with the following: the workspace you
created, the layer you created, access mode set to read and 'access granted
to every role' ticked
- Going back to the layer settings and changing anything (or just save
again)
- Going back to data security window and checking if the rule is still
listed (in my case it is not)

I was thinking that having the default '*.*.r' rule might be the reason for
this, since it basically does the same job, but removing it beforehand
didn't change the behavior.

Best regards,
Ville Koivisto
