Platform for publishing spatial data to the web
GeoServer
Server for sharing and editing geospatial data
About GeoServer
GeoServer is a server that publishes geospatial data using open standards, letting users share maps and data through web services. It runs on your own server or home hardware, so your data stays under your control instead of depending on a third-party cloud service. That makes it a practical fit for homelab users, small teams, and organizations that value privacy, ownership, and predictable costs over time.
