Overview

Boundless provides commercial support for open source geospatial software. In turn they provide direct support to open source, so everyone benefits from their work. By building a stack on this particular set of projects they do a great service to the community even if you can't afford to pay them for support.

Essentially they are an insurance company. ;-)

  1. QGIS on the desktop
  2. "Composer" is for authoring maps
  3. OpenLayers
  4. GeoServer http://geoserver.org/ Front end for geospatial repository https://github.com/Geo-CEG/docker-geoserver
  5. GeoGig http://geogig.org/ A geoserver plugin for change management https://github.com/Geo-CEG/docker-geogig
  6. GeoWebCache http://geowebcache.org/ will cache pre-rendered tiles coming from Geoerver
  7. PostGIS Used as a data repository for GeoServer but capable of full SQL processing of spatial data.

See this page: Boundless commited to open source and their github page: https://github.com/boundlessgeo

Consider adding OpenDataKit to this stack.

My version

Getting started on Bellman, I need only these parts:

  1. PostGIS as an extension in PostgreSQL.
  2. Geoserver in Docker, to which I can add GeoGig.
  3. Openlayers
