Our group operates on a flex ible basis\, allowing members to contribute to discussions and projects in accordance with their current work capacities and level of involvement wi th GeoNode [1].\n\nWe maintain regular communication through our GitHub re pository\, which serves as the central hub for collaboration\, code sharin g\, and project coordination. This is complemented by a dedicated Slack ch annel that facilitates direct and efficient interactions among members. Ou r meetings\, held four times a year with at least one in-person gathering during the German FOSSGIS conference\, provide opportunities to discuss in dividual challenges\, share updates from the GeoNode upstream community\, and exchange news about our respective GeoNode instances.\n\nA significant challenge we've addressed is the exchange of GeoNode features that haven' t been integrated into the upstream project and sharing them among our ind ividual forks. This led to the development of the geonode-blueprint-docker [2]\, an opinionated setup designed to simplify GeoNode installations and configurations\, making it more accessible for our diverse community [3]. \n\nOur collaborative efforts have resulted in several notable projects:\n - Thünen Atlas: An interactive platform providing maps and data on topics such as land use\, forestry\, and marine ecosystems [4]\n- Data Package C ontrib Module: A GeoNode importer handler designed to upload non-spatial d ata as data packages\, enhancing the platform's versatility [5]\n- GeoNode -K8s: A Kubernetes Helm chart facilitating the deployment of GeoNode in cl oud-native environments\, promoting scalability and ease of management. [6 ]\n\nOur GitHub repository serves also as a hub for these open-source GeoN ode extensions and ecosystem tools\, such as geonodectl\, a command-line i nterface tool for interacting with GeoNode's REST API v2.\n\nBeyond our in ternal projects\, we actively engage with the upstream GeoNode community b y providing feedback on feature development and contributing both bug repo rts and new features to the core GeoNode platform. Notably\, one of our me mbers serves on the GeoNode Project Steering Committee\, further strengthe ning our connection with the broader GeoNode community.\n\nThrough this pr esentation\, we aim to showcase our community's achievements and extend an invitation to new members to join our collaborative efforts. By sharing o ur experiences\, we hope to inspire others to participate in and benefit f rom our collective endeavors.\n\n[1] https://geonode.org - GeoNode Officia l Website: GeoNode is an open-source platform that facilitates the creatio n\, sharing\, and collaborative use of geospatial data.\n[2] https://githu b.com/GeoNodeUserGroup-DE/geonode-blueprint-docker - GeoNode-Blueprint-Doc ker: This is a Docker blueprint for setting up a GeoNode installation\, si mplifying the deployment process for users.\n[3] https://github.com/GeoNod eUserGroup-DE/ - German GeoNode User Group GitHub Repository: The central hub for the German GeoNode User Group's projects and collaborations\, host ing various tools and extensions related to GeoNode.\n[4] https://atlas.th uenen.de - Thünen Atlas: An interactive platform providing maps and data on topics such as land use\, forestry\, and marine ecosystems.\n[5] https: //github.com/GeoNodeUserGroup-DE/contrib_datapackage - Contrib DataPackage : A GeoNode importer handler designed to upload non-spatial data as data p ackages\, enhancing the platform's versatility.\n[6] https://github.com/Ge oNodeUserGroup-DE/geonode-k8s - GeoNode-K8s: A Kubernetes Helm chart facil itating the deployment of GeoNode in cloud-native environments\, promoting scalability and ease of management.

However\, deploying and scaling Geo Node can present challenges\, especially in dynamic environments. To addre ss these challenges\, the German GeoNode User Group has developed and main tains GeoNode-K8s\, a Kubernetes Helm chart tailored for GeoNode deploymen ts [2]. This tool streamlines the deployment process\, offering scalabilit y and resilience through Kubernetes orchestration. In this lightning talk\ , we will:\nIntroducing GeoNode-K8s and its core features.\nDemonstrate th e deployment process using the Helm chart.\nDiscuss the advantages of leve raging Kubernetes for GeoNode\, including improved scalability and simplif ied management.\nAttendees will gain insights into how GeoNode-K8s can enh ance their geospatial data infrastructure\, making deployments more effici ent and adaptable to varying workloads.\nThis talk is designed for geospat ial professionals and developers interested in modernizing their GeoNode d eployments using container orchestration technologies.\n\nReferences:\n[1] https://github.com/geonode/geonode - GeoNode Official Repository\n[2] htt ps://github.com/GeoNodeUserGroup-DE/geonode-k8s - GeoNode-K8s GitHub Repos itory DTSTAMP:20260527T015035Z LOCATION:SA01 SUMMARY:Deploying GeoNode with Kubernetes: Introducing GeoNode-K8s - Marcel Wallschläger URL:https://talks.staging.osgeo.org/foss4g-europe-2025/talk/SWDRHL/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
