I'm new to QGIS and stumbled about this question while playing around with the QGIS Server configuration.
The QGIS Server installation guide says:
QGIS Server needs a running X Server to be fully usable, in particular for printing.
...but I can use the GetPrint
option just fine to get PDF/PNG/SVG without x Server
or xvfb
installed on an Ubuntu Server 22.04
machine.
Is the guide just outdated or am I missing something (is GetPrint
what they mean by printing
, is there something like X Server pre-installed)?
- OS: Ubuntu Server 22.04.1 LTS
- QGIS Server: 3.28.2-Firenze (via
apt
from https://qgis.org/debian) - additional plugins: lizmap-server 1.3.1 (via the
pip3
qgis-plugin-manager
) - Web Server: nginx 1.18.0
Running ps -e | grep x
returns only nginx
and ext4-rsv-conver
.
