[MapServer-users] "Emergency" map server on Raspberry Pi - raster/PNG source in folder structure

[Ian Turton]

I gave a talk about something similar a few years back at FOSS4G - the
video is at https://vimeo.com/248675454

I used a Raspberry Pi, GeoServer and MapProxy but I can't see why MapServer
would not work.

It's perfectly feasible, though a little slow. A newer Pi4 would probably
be fine though, especially with a SSD for the data and cache
