The killer features of QGIS Server
06-03, 13:30–14:00 (Europe/Stockholm), Birollen

QGIS Server can publish OGC web services (WMS, WFS etc.) directly from QGIS projects, using QGIS for map rendering. This means that the maps, when published, look identical to what they look like in your desktop QGIS. Another unique characteristic of QGIS Server is its capability to serve QGIS print layouts. In other words, you can publish your maps along with all their layout elements as defined in the print layout.

This talk covers how the aforementioned capabilities of QGIS Server can be applied in practice. The focus is on publishing not only a standard WMS but also a map atlas: a set of print-ready maps made utilizing QGIS's print layout capabilities. The talk also touches on other relevant topics such as setting up and configuring QGIS Server. The content is based on practical examples from a project with the National Land Survey of Finland.
