What is NextGIS Web?
A self-hostable Web GIS platform for spatial data handling, map publishing, and QGIS-driven teamwork. It ships a spatial backend, browser admin console, and REST API. Capabilities span vector/raster storage, PostGIS links, interactive maps with layer tools and print output, standard geospatial service publishing plus tiles, QGIS style support, built-in version history for vector layers, a web vector editor, file attachments, and granular permissions. The Community Edition deploys via Docker or Docker Compose on port 8080. A PostgreSQL/PostGIS database is required, with optional S3-compatible storage for rasters. NextGIS develops it under GPL-3.0.
Should you self-host NextGIS Web?
NextGIS Web scores 54/100 on selfhost.directory (how scoring works) and ranks #3 of 8 in Geospatial. It has 294 GitHub stars.
There was no stable release in the past 12 months, so check the repository's recent activity before you rely on it.
Setup is moderate: expect some configuration beyond a single command. An official Docker image is available. It is GPL-3.0-licensed and written mostly in Python.
Its closest alternative on selfhost.directory is QGIS (81/100, 14 728 stars). It scores higher overall, so compare the two before you pick. See NextGIS Web vs QGIS side by side.
