docker-qgis-ubuntu

QGIS graphical user interface running on Ubuntu. Tailored for macOS.

This repo allows QGIS users on macOS to access the latest QGIS on Ubuntu. A good use case is that QGIS for Ubuntu has the Geospatial PDF workflow as part of the layout manager (a feature added in GDAL 3.x, that as of this writing is not a part of the QGIS for macOS).

How to build

docker build -t roblabs/qgis:ubuntu .
