This is an Ubuntu derived image containing the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) compiled with a broad range of drivers. This GDAL version is built with NextGIS Borsch.
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 nextgis/gdal
The following command will open a bash shell in an Ubuntu based environment with GDAL available:
docker run -t -i nextgis/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 nextgis/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.
