Docker image for QGIS - constructed for the use as Galaxy IT

QGIS the Free and Open Source Geographic Information System is now available in Galaxy.

Run the image

You can start the container outside of Galaxy with:

docker run -i -t --rm -p 8080:5800 quay.io/galaxy/qgis-headless:3.22 bash

Once you are in the container you can start the application with:

/init

Configuration

This image is based on top of the fantastic work of Jocelyn Le Sage base GUI image. Please consult the documentation of the upstream container.

Galaxy integration

Galaxy can run arbitrary Virtual Research Environments (VREs). In Galaxy terms, such VRE's are called "Interactive Tools", as they are using the same subsystem then normal Galaxy tools. The only requirement is that those tools need to run in containers and expose a port(s) to which Galaxy can redirect users. The Docker image for QGIS you can find in this repository. The Galaxy tool definition for the QGIS Interactive tool can be found here.
