Docker for Geoprocessing
I am trying to get Geoprocessing jobs to run inside Docker so that they are more portable and easier to reuse across different machines.
COVID19 and WFH
COVID19 hit so I had to get set up to work at home. I had already been using git so my code was up there.
On my home computer Murre which runs Windows 10, I needed to install
- Visual Studio Code for Windows with the extensions listed below
- Docker Desktop, for Windows
- git for windows because Visual Studio Code uses it
- cygwin so I'd have bash, maybe you don't care about bash and use Powershell instead?
What else? I'll add as I think of it.
VSCode extensions that I currently have installed
- Debugger for Chrome
- Docker
- Python
- Remote Development pack (includes Remote-Containers and Remote-SSH extensions)
The story so far
The big picture is to create an elevation surface and then contours for Clatsop County from LiDAR data provided by DOGAMI.
DOWNLOADER
I created https://github.com/Wildsong/geoprocessing Wildsong/lidar_downloader] to download all the data for the county and got it working. This does no geoprocessing, it just grabs files from a remote server using a CSV full of URLs so it's not in a Docker (yet). Now I have data at home to work with.
DATA
I unpacked the zips here: /d/GIS/OR/DOGAMI/ClatsopCounty
MOSAICS
I am going to build VRT files using GDAL, so now I need the Docker. I've created a Github project called Wildsong/geoprocessing.
