Modern GIS Runtipi Catalog

A curated collection of production-ready Geospatial, AI, and Data tools for Runtipi.

This catalog allows you to deploy a complete Modern GIS Stack (PostGIS, GeoServer, QGIS, Mergin Maps, etc.) on your self-hosted server in minutes.

🌟 Included Applications

🛠 Core Infrastructure

• GIS PostGIS Engine: The heart of the stack. PostgreSQL 16 + PostGIS 3.4 + pgvector.
• MinIO: High-performance S3-compatible object storage for massive geospatial datasets.

🗺️ Map Serving & Management

• GeoNode: The ultimate open-source Geospatial CMS and SDI platform.
• GeoServer: The industry standard OGC server for WFS/WMS/WCS.
• Martin Tile Server: Blazing fast Vector Tiles directly from PostGIS.
• Lizmap Web Client: Publish QGIS projects as feature-rich web maps.
• Mergin Maps CE: Self-hosted server for the Mergin Maps mobile field collection app.

💻 Desktop & Analysis

• QGIS Web Desktop: Full QGIS LTR running in your browser via KasmVNC.
• Geospatial Lab: JupyterLab configured with Python, GeoPandas, and DuckDB.
• Potree Viewer: WebGL-based viewer for massive point cloud rendered datasets.

🤖 AI & Automation

• Geospatial AI Suite: Private AI stack with AnythingLLM and Ollama (Llama 3, etc.).
• n8n Automation: Workflow automation node-based tool.
• Vector Admin: GUI for managing pgvector embeddings.

📊 Data & APIs

• PostgREST: Instantly turn your database schema into a RESTful API.
• Metabase: Beautiful Business Intelligence dashboards and charts.
• CloudBeaver: Collaborative cloud database client.
• pgAdmin 4: The most popular management tool for PostgreSQL.

🚀 Installation

1. Open your Runtipi Dashboard.
2. Go to Settings -> App Store.
3. Add Custom Catalog: https://github.com/PappyEric/GIS_Runtipi_catalog
4. Go to the App Store tab.
5. Install GIS PostGIS Engine FIRST.
   • Set your credentials securely.
6. Install other apps.
   • Crucial: When asked for Postgres Host, User, or Password, use the credentials you set in Step 5.
   • The internal hostname is gis-postgres.

🏗 Architecture

This catalog follows a "Split-Stack" philosophy (Service Oriented Architecture):

• Single Source of Truth: All apps connect to the central gis-postgres database. We avoid bundling separate DBs inside each container.
• Storage: Heavy files (rasters, point clouds) should go to minio (S3).
• Integration: Apps like n8n or postgrest can act as glue between your map data and external services.
