Latest QGIS 2 in docker (QGIS 2.18.x)

QGIS 2.18.x from QGIS.org

Included: QGIS-Processing - GRASS GIS 7.4

Installation

Available via mundialis docker hub repo:

docker pull mundialis/docker-qgis2

You can download a convenient "qgis2" startup script here: qgis2.

Download the file and store it either into $HOME/bin/ or in /usr/local/bin/ (or likewise into a directory listed in your PATH environment variable) and set the "executable" flag of the script. Hence, be sure to make the "qgis2" script an executable:

chmod a+x qgis2

Usage

Simply run

qgis2

Troubleshooting

If QGIS crashes or hangs it might leave an orphan docker process running. If you see the process with

docker ps

Then run

docker stop <process id or container name>

Else run

docker ps -a

then

docker rm <process id or container name>
