<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We’ve just installed QGIS in Citrix and had to complete the base install and then configure QGIS with connections to databases and web services. Then
install any additional plugins that users might need (gazetteer search). Then the Citrix server is set to read-only to save the base image. I guess you could build a package for QGIS with everything configured and then install that in the Citrix environment
but you only need to do one install so probably not worth the effort of building a bespoke package.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The system is set up to allow individual users their own .qgis2 folder which they have read/write access to. This mean that technically they are able
to install plugins as they are saved in the .qgis2\python\plugins folder. Not sure about restricting access to updates as our install needs internet access for web services and the plugin manager must look for updates automatically.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Our server spec is pretty beefy with heaps of RAM and fast processors. As it is single threaded (for now) the fastest processor will help and probably
a minimum of 2GB RAM. We installed the 64bit version to get around limitations when printing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The Citrix bit we needed the most work on was allowing access to the .qgis2 folder to save configurations per user and sorting internet access. Compared
to configuring ArcGIS, QGIS was a breeze as it just worked for the most part.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
