Aim:
Setting up your own self-hosted data capture infrastructure with Mergin Maps and QGIS
(docker / local)

Mergin Maps is built on an ecosystem of components that can also be deployed and used locally for development, testing, and integration purposes.

If you want to really understand how Mergin Maps works under the hood, the best way is to run the whole stack yourself. In this workshop, we're going to walk through setting up Mergin Maps Community Edition (CE) locally on your own machine.
Having a local setup is incredibly useful. Instead of testing things on a live server, you get a fast, isolated environment where you can freely experiment. We'll show you exactly how the database, server, and client apps connect. It’s the perfect sandbox for debugging issues, trying out custom integrations, or just getting comfortable with the architecture. By the end of the session, you'll have a working local instance and a much better grasp on how to manage the platform on your own terms.
