✅ Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:


📦 Clone the Repository

git clone git@github.com:opengisch/georama.git
cd georama

⚙️ Environment Configuration

Copy the example environment file and customize it:

cp .env.example .env

Set the path to your QGIS projects:

GEORAMA_LOCAL_DATA=/absolute/path/to/your/qgis/projects
Optionally, adjust other variables in the .env file to match your environment.

🚀 Start the Services

Build and launch all containers:

docker compose build
docker compose up -d
⏳ Note: The first run downloads ~5GB of test data. Be patient.

🗃️ Prepare the Django Database

Once services are running, apply migrations and create a superuser:

docker compose exec georama make migrate
docker compose exec georama make create-superuser

🔐 Access the Admin Interface

Admin panel: http://localhost:4242/admin/ Login with the superuser credentials you chose.
