[Qgis-user] Configuring QGIS server on Ubuntu 20.4

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that: we have even recently spent a considerable
amount of time (and money, because it was financed with a grant) to rewrite
the QGIS Server documentation with detailed information about deployment
[1], we have clearly missed the goal if you couldn't find what you needed
in these pages.

It would be useful to know what exactly were your problems and what did you
try to do.

A common problem with server deployments is that there are multiple ways of
doing things, it really depends on what you need, for example we are now
commonly using docker containers (there are many out there that provide a
QGIS Server working installation almost without the need to manually
configure anything).

Also, I tend to use nginx, but apache is totally fine too.
