- Developers: See our developer guide
- For production: See our deployment guide
- Stateless and easy to deploy
- Able to retrieve context information of a point from several sources (context service registries)
- Currently work with WFS and WMS sources
- Using cache mechanism to retrieve context information faster
- Two level hierarchy (context service registry --> context group --> context collection) for easier to manage
- Simple API
-
Current test status master:

For deployment we use docker so you need to have docker running on the host. GeoContext is a django app so it will help if you have some knowledge of running a django site.
git clone git://github.com/kartoza/geocontext.git
cd geocontext/deployment
cp btsync-db.env.EXAMPLE btsync-db.env
cp btsync-media.env.EXAMPLE btsync-media.env
make build
make permissions
make web
# Wait a few seconds for the DB to start before to do the next command
make migrate
make collectstatic
So as to create your admin account:
make superuser
Loading Data GeoContext use a json file to populate the context service registry and its group and collection. Everything is stored in geocontext.json. You can load it by running this command:
make import-dataOr if you have your own json file, you can load it with:
make import-data FILE_URI=path/to/your/json/fileBe careful, it will replace your context service registry data (and its
hierarchy) with your new one from the json file. But no worries, when your
run this import-data command, it will export your context service registry
data to a new json file.
You can also export your context service registry to json file by running:
make export-dataAfter you have working geocontext instance, you can then check the available API from the API documentation links (you can find it in the main page) or see the content and the hierarchy of context service registry (you can also find the link in the main page)
We work under the philosophy that stakeholders should have access to the development and source code, and be able to participate in every level of the project - we invite comments, suggestions and contributions. See our milestones list and our open issues list for known bugs and outstanding tasks.
