Setup GeoNode Locally

1. Clone and Install GeoNode You can either clone this default repository or use the GeoNode Project repository to generate a customized GeoNode.

   export GEONODE_BASE_URL="http://<your_ip_address>"
   export GEONODE_ADMIN_USERNAME="<your_admin_username_or_email>"
   export GEONODE_ADMIN_PASSWORD="<your_admin_password>"

   Replace <your_ip_address>, <your_admin_username_or_email>, and <your_admin_password> with your desired values.

4. Access GeoNode Open GeoNode in your browser at http://<your_ip_address> and log in using the admin credentials.

Test the Setup

1. Upload a Dataset to GeoNode

   • Log in to GeoNode as an admin.
   • Upload a TIFF or GeoJSON dataset.
   • Set its category to cdi-raster-map.

2. Verify in Eswatini Droughtmap Hub

   • Log in to the Droughtmap Hub as an admin.
   • Navigate to /publications.
   • If configured correctly, the list of datasets from GeoNode should appear, allowing you to start a new publication.

3. Troubleshooting

   • If no datasets are visible:
     • Double-check the environment variable values in the Droughtmap Hub.
     • Verify that GeoNode is accessible and the dataset category is correctly assigned.
   • Open a new issue in the relevant repository if the problem persists.
