PDF Export using MapFish 3

Run MapFish inside a Local Docker Container:

MapFish is an open-source tool to create reports containing maps. This script uses MapFish to create the PDF-map exports. We relay on the default camptocamp/mapfish_print docker container, which we customized by adding our own config.yaml and report.jrxml.

Once you have Docker installed on your system, you can start the MapFish print server by calling:

docker build . -t cevi/walktable_mapfish:latest
docker run --publish=8080:8080  cevi/walktable_mapfish:latest

Test your MapFish Instance

You can test if the container is running properly by opening localhost:8080. Now you can copy-past the content of the test_query.json file and click on Create And Get Print. If the test PDF gets created properly, your installation was successfully.
