[Qgis-user] QGIS server in professional use?

[DelazJ]

Hi Mats, all

Just to let you know that some of the unclear/confusing statements in the
docs you pointed out in an earlier message have been addressed. The updated
version is available at
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/blob/master/docs/server_manual/getting_started.rst
and will be pushed to the docs website later tonight (UTC).
Hope that helps you get through or at least makes things less confusing.
And please open issues in the repo if there still are.

Regards,
Harrissou
