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/
