Sources¶
Sources are simply where GeoJibe gets your data.
| Source | Best for |
|---|---|
| Upload | Files on your computer |
| URL | Public files available by URL |
| HTTP/API | Authenticated or configurable HTTP/REST datasets |
| S3 | Object storage |
| ArcGIS | ArcGIS FeatureServer layers |
| PostGIS | A spatial table or view |
| SQL Server | A spatial table or view |
| MySQL / MariaDB | A spatial table or view |
| Oracle Spatial | A spatial table or view |
| DuckDB | A spatial table in a .duckdb file |
| Google BigQuery | A spatial table or view |
| GeoServer | A published vector layer |
| GeoNode | A published vector dataset |
| Hub | A file stored in Hub |
| QFieldCloud | Syncing a field project into PostGIS |
| Mergin Maps | Syncing a Mergin Maps project into PostGIS |
Upload¶
Drop a file on the Canvas or use Choose a file.
Common inputs include GeoPackage, GeoJSON, Shapefile (as a ZIP of companion files), GeoTIFF, and CSV with geometry. See Supported formats.
Upload cannot be saved as a reusable Source. There is no file left on the server to fetch next week. For repeatable Jobs, use URL, HTTP/API, S3, FeatureServer, PostGIS, SQL Server, MySQL / MariaDB, Oracle Spatial, Google BigQuery, GeoServer, GeoNode, or Hub.
A ZIP must contain one spatial dataset. A Shapefile needs .shp, .shx, and .dbf together. GeoPackage may contain several layers — you choose layers at Convert time.
URL¶
Paste an http/https link and click Import. No login fields. Private or local addresses are blocked.
HTTP/API¶
Use this when the web service needs a token, API key, Basic login, headers, query parameters, or POST. URL stays the simple public-file option.
S3¶
Saved account + bucket, then an object Key per import.
ArcGIS (FeatureServer)¶
Connect to a public FeatureServer, pick a layer, Import. The Canvas label is ArcGIS.
PostGIS¶
Saved database connection, then a schema and table per import.
SQL Server¶
Saved database connection, then a schema and table per import.
MySQL / MariaDB¶
Saved database connection, then a table per import. MySQL and MariaDB use the same connector.
Oracle Spatial¶
Saved database connection, then a schema and table per import. Vector tables only.
DuckDB¶
Upload a .duckdb file, then choose a spatial table. Vector tables only. DuckDB cannot be saved as a reusable Source.
Google BigQuery¶
Saved Google Cloud project and service-account JSON key, then a dataset and table per import. Vector tables only. GEOGRAPHY columns become feature geometry.
GeoServer¶
Saved GeoServer connection, then a published vector layer per import.
GeoNode¶
Saved GeoNode connection, then a vector dataset per import. GeoNode 4 and 5 are both supported.
QFieldCloud and Mergin Maps¶
These are Sync Sources. They cannot be used with Convert.
Saved Sources¶
URL, HTTP/API, FeatureServer, S3, PostGIS, SQL Server, MySQL / MariaDB, Oracle Spatial, Google BigQuery, GeoServer, GeoNode, Hub, QFieldCloud, and Mergin Maps can be saved. Upload and DuckDB cannot.
