Hi Stefan,

My guess is, that you want to use a browser-based frontend. Then best to base that on Leaflet or OpenLayers. Both are pure-client JavaScript libraries. These libs may be bare when developing from scratch, you can also use a library that extends these libs (like MapStore).

Shameless plug: Wegue [1] combines OpenLayers with VueJS. For basic apps the framework ishas standard components, JSON-config-based (no programming!), runs out-of-the box with Docker and brings no backend. But there are many more you can find e.g. on the OSGeo-live distro [2].

Hi all!

After I got my first mapserver project on the road really quickly, thanks to the community here, I'm working on my second one...

I'm pulling Sentinel 1 and 2 imagery of my municipality every day, pushing them through some gdal magic and - at the moment - sending them to a Telegram group for other SA (situational awareness), map and nature nerds in my area.

I already wrote a Python script to create shape file catalogs for the files including the time domain and I have a mapserver test instance running.

Now I'm looking for a good frontend - or maybe I have to tinker one together myself? I'd like something lightweight, docker-friendly and easily customizable. I am tinkering with GeoSolutions' MapStore at the moment, but while it's a really cool concept, it's not overly docker-friendly when it comes to customization and it has some weird quirks, probably due to it being JAVA. I'd also like to avoid PostgreSQL if possible because I don't know anything about it except that upgrading is a huge hassle. I'm more of a MySQL/MariaDB guy.

Any recommendations?

-Stefan
