Repository for PointCloudPortal, prepared for FOSSIGIS2021
- a webserver set up with apache or nginx
- PHP
- PDO SQLite (optional)
- PotreeConverter (https://github.com/potree/PotreeConverter, https://github.com/potree/potree/)
Due to the huge files that are being handled when working with point clouds, some files (nginx/apache and php) need alteration. The relevant parts of the php.ini and nginx configuration in use:
php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 10G
max_execution_time = 1800
max_input_time = -1
post_max_size = 10G
extension=pdo_sqlite
post_max_size needs to be >= upload_max_filesize (when uploading three files >= 10MB, the "upload_max_filesize" can be 10MB, the "post_max_size" needs to be 30MB)
nginx configuration
client_max_body_size 10G;
send_timeout 1800; # TODO needed?
fastcgi_read_timeout 1800;
# for the conversion logs
location /logs/ {
add_header Content-Type text/plain;
}
If a SQLite database is being used, the directory in which it is stored has to be writable (and maybe even executable for the webserver/php user).
