The workshop will provide an introduction to GeoNode starting with an overview of its functionalities for managing, data, users and documents covering also more advanced concepts.
The workshop will provide an introduction to GeoNode starting with an overview of its functionalities for managing data, users and documents covering also more advanced concepts like managing layers, editing layer styles, managing maps, dashboards and geostories and more; advanced information on data management will also be provided in order to ensure performance data dissemination.
The workshop will also cover advanced administration and configuration concepts covering, the administration panel, management commands and much more.
In order to participate no previous knowledge of GeoServer and OGC services is required, but a basic knowledge of GIS concepts and basic data formats (shapefiles, geotiff) is recommended.
It's suggested that participants bring their laptops with Git and Docker installed and configured to practice during the hands-on training.
Needed tools:
- Git - see git guides for installation instructions, https://github.com/git-guides/install-git
- Docker desktop - installation page https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/windows-install/
- (Alternative to docker desktop) Docker engine - installation page https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
Another option is to register on the public GeoNode demo instance (https://stable.demo.geonode.org), but this will not allow testing administrative functionalities.
NOTICE The instructions below refer to a previous version of GeoNode. They will be updated during the upcoming weeks.
The GeoNode installation could take some minutes to download the needed dependencies so we strongly suggest to prepare it beforehand.
