[mapserver-users] Gallery: running mapserver in docker on kubernetes

[Jan Hartmann]

Hi Wouter, I am definitely interested in your setups, especially the 
docker containers with mapserver. I've also a lot of separate mapserver 
applications that I would like to manage more as a whole. Although not 
with 12 billion requests a year . An example is the complete population 
administration of Friesland on historical and modern maps (mostly PDOK) 
from 1750 to 1890:

Please let me know what is already available  from PDOK; if possible and 
useful, I would very much like to participate in the pilot, e.g. 
concerning the MapServer Wiki part. I've been using MapServer since 2000
