Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

You don't need a VM, it could run a server, you just need postgres on a network that is accessible to everyone you want to use it. Regardless, If this means the public internet I would highly recommend a nonstandard port and would highly suggest client certificates based authentication. Also

You could use WebDAV to handle the sharing. All web based, and can look the same across all clients. bobb On Sep 1, 2015, at 8:59 PM, John Harrop > wrote: Any suggestions on how to "cloudify" PostGIS? I would like to use it as well and shared

Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

All, Oops, I responded to the wrong thread (group actually) But really, if you wanted to run POSTGIS(Postgres) in the cloud, you would just set up a remote VM with OS of you choice), set up Postgres/PostGIS and use it from there. You can filter the remote connections from within the Postgres

Any suggestions on how to "cloudify" PostGIS? I would like to use it as well and shared across more than the local network. Cheers, John Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 1, 2015, at 9:38 AM, didier peeters wrote: > > Arni, > > Postgis is certainly an excellent option.

Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

Hi John, I don't know what you mean by "cloudify" Postgis? But if you want more flexibility with Postgis connections I can suggest that you make your connection to a service definition and not to a host/database directly. That way you can just change your service definition file and change

That's an interesting approach, John. I'll have to have a better look the Grass style directory structure. Árni Árni Geirsson *Alta ehf* // +354 582 5000 // +354 897 9549 www.alta.is // Alta á Twitter // Alta á Facebook

Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

Arni, Postgis is certainly an excellent option. Regarding the data sources, currently QGis cannot use relative paths to files or photos (at least) but to svg's in styling (and maybe other, I don’t have an exhaustive list). One option to bypass the files issue would be to use a web server and

Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

Hi, Regarding relative paths to files and photos, it would be a quite trivial - and useful - change to fix this. If you would like to help funding this, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Matthias On 09/01/2015 06:38 PM, didier peeters wrote: > Arni, > > Postgis is certainly an

[Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

Hi I am adding a Mac to a local network of PCs. The Mac user uses QGIS (as well as the PCs) and accesses data on a shared drive. Now the problem comes up that data sources have different paths to the shared drive in each operating system, making cooperation difficult. On the other hand, since the

Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

Re: postgresql in my experience it's neither cumbersome nor slow. Feel free to email me for help if you would like to explore that route. Are the paths in you qgs file relative or absolute? If their relative, is the issue that the path separator is different? If that is the issue, I would file

Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

Thanks Jim Your answer encourages me to try the PostGIS option - it obviously has some other useful advantages. But your reply also made me realize that the problem is really that much of the data I have is on another network share - hence the problem with the paths. I should simply move the data

Re: [Qgis-user] Adding a Mac to a group of PCs

Árni, We have been working very successfully with the same combination. In fact, most of the PC users were using ESRI software with the Macs using only QGIS (obviously?). We use a directory structure based on the Grass style and shared (across continents) using Dropbox. Most are using the
