Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm new to this mailing list. Apologize if my question not fits a
conceptional topic of this list.<br>
I use postgis since years for a web mapping application, running in
single linux based application environments containing a web, map
and database server.<br>
<br>
Therefore it was usefull to have the laoder installed together with
the postgis extention. User could upload shape files over the
webserver, php called shp2pgsql to load the shapes into the database
in the background and the map server provide the new layer in its
web client interface as many other application do.<br>
<br>
Since i changed the runtime environment to separate docker
containers linked together only via services I have the general
question to postgis if it not would be a good idea to have the
loader in a separate debian package without postgis and postgresql
itself.<br>
<br>
It may be more a special question for the debian package builder
Francesco Paolo Lovergine, Stephen Frost, Markus Wanner or Bas
Couwenberg.<br>
<br>
My problem in a litle more detail.<br>
If I have one docker container with a postgis installation e.g.
<meta charset="utf-8">
mdillon/postgis. Postgis is installed with all its dependencies.
Than I have another container only with a web mapping server. With
the postgres container linked into the web container I have access
to the database over the tcp connection, but not to the loader. I
had to install the loader within the web application container, but
the package of postgis would install all these database stuff I have
allready in the postgres container. This would be redundant wouldn't
it? Anybody know an easy way to install only the loader with a
debian or ubuntu base image in a Dockerfile? Is it of interest or
planned to support a package only with postgis loader and helpers?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any hints.<br>
<br>
Best regards Peter Korduan <br>
