GDAL Docker Images
NB: As of GDAL version 1.11.2 the image has been renamed from homme/gdal
to
geodata/gdal
.
This is an Ubuntu derived image containing the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) compiled with a broad range of drivers. The build process is based on that defined in the GDAL TravisCI tests.
Each branch in the git repository corresponds to a supported GDAL version
(e.g. 1.11.2
) with the master branch following GDAL master. These branch names
are reflected in the image tags on the Docker Index (e.g. branch 1.11.2
corresponds to the image geodata/gdal:1.11.2
).
Usage
Running the container without any arguments will by default output the GDAL version string as well as the supported raster and vector formats:
docker run geodata/gdal
The following command will open a bash shell in an Ubuntu based environment with GDAL available:
docker run -t -i geodata/gdal /bin/bash
You will most likely want to work with data on the host system from within the
docker container, in which case run the container with the -v option. Assuming
you have a raster called test.tif
in your current working directory on your
host system, running the following command should invoke gdalinfo
on
test.tif
:
docker run -v $(pwd):/data geodata/gdal gdalinfo test.tif
This works because the current working directory is set to /data
in the
container, and you have mapped the current working directory on your host to
/data
.
Note that the image tagged latest
, GDAL represents the latest code at the
time the image was built. If you want to include the most up-to-date commits
then you need to build the docker image yourself locally along these lines:
docker build -t geodata/gdal:local git://github.com/geo-data/gdal-docker/
