[Qgis-user] Live DVD advice

[Brent Wood]

Thanks James,
I have looked at http://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/ogc_server_support.html?highlight=server  
which seems like it would work - but I'd still need to avoid Postgis as the data source (read only filesystem) and sort out the rendering styles for use with QGIS - it may be possible to export the OSM Postgis tables as shapefiles & use those as the data source, but I don't know how to go about adapting the rendering styles, which is a large part of the value of OSM - data plus style.
Cheers,
  Brent

Could you use QGIS Server?  It'd take a qgs file and the data it needs
(which can be any input type QGIS uses, including shapefiles and
spatialite dbs along with PostGIS).
