[Qgis-user] QGIS Server and webmapping information

[Etienne Trimaille]

Hi,

qgis2web will generate a static website that you can easily move on a
server somewhere, without the need to install QGIS Server.
The website will be generated from the plugin itself.

If you install QGIS Server only, you will have only some OGC streams such
as WMS, WFS etc. It's just to publish "data" on the internet. But you won't
have the web viewer in an internet browser.
Then you need to code the web application using Leaflet or OpenLayers.

If you use QGIS Web Client, Lizmap or similar, the web application is
already there and will offer some widgets and some tools. It will try to
mimic the QGIS Desktop application with the layer tree, the print layouts,
dataviz etc.

I tried to make this schema :
https://docs.lizmap.com/next/en/introduction.html I hope it can help you.

There are a few QGIS web applications : QGIS Web Client, Lizmap, GisQuick,
Mappia
