WebGIS Thalwil

Local DEV setup

Run the docker compose file to fire up a local instance of the webGIS. It mounts the contents of the app folder and uses the configuration files (themes.json, config.json) in the dev directory. These were copied from Thalwil TEST env.

Note that files in the dev directory and the docker-compose.yaml are only needed for local development work and do not get added to the final docker image.

Release a new version

Relevant for a production release are the Dockerfile and files in the app directory. The following steps are necessary when releasing a new version.

Optional prerequisite when doing a major upgrade:

1. Manually upgrade opengisch qwc_minimal repository to the latest LTS version of QWC2
2. Update the files in app to fit with the newest version

Then, customer specific changes can be applied in this repo:

1. Add or change files in app
2. Update the image tag in the Dockerfile, e.g.: 3. from 2024-lts.0 to 2024-lts.1 4. or when doing a major upgrade: 2025-lts.0
3. In the rgdz.thalwil.deployment repo, update the docker image URL to point at the new image version
4. On the production server, pull rgdz.thalwil.deployment repo
5. Restart docker containers

By only updating the URL for dev and/or test environment in step 3, you can test changes without touching production.
