geodocker

A Docker container with GDAL and AWS CLI pre-installed for geospatial workflows.

Description

This project provides a convenient Docker image based on OSGEO's GDAL Ubuntu image, enhanced with AWS CLI v2. It's designed for geospatial data processing tasks that require both GDAL tools and AWS integration.

Setup

To simplify usage, you can copy or symlink the geo script to a directory in your system's PATH, such as /usr/local/bin:

# Copy the script
sudo cp geo /usr/local/bin/

# Or create a symlink
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/geo /usr/local/bin/geo

This allows you to run the geo command from anywhere without specifying its path.

Usage

The geo script provides an easy way to run commands inside the Docker container with your current directory mounted as the working directory.

# Run GDAL commands
./geo gdalinfo myfile.tif

# Run AWS CLI commands
./geo aws s3 ls

# Run any other command available in the container
./geo ogr2ogr output.shp input.geojson

The script automatically:

• Mounts your current directory to /working inside the container
• Sets the working directory to /working

Building

To build the Docker image:

make build
