Gas Stations WFS layer not available anymore

[sronveaux]

It seems terrestris GeoServer WFS is currently unavailable. Because of that, the Gas Stations WFS layer doesn't work anymore inside Wegue demo app.

I don't know whether this is a temporary problem or whether this demo server will stay down as no information is given on terrestris web page.

However, I really think is issue is a must-be-fixed before Wegue v3 is out so I updated the roadmap and added a point about this.

If the server comes back online before that time, everything will be fine, otherwise a new WFS demo server will be required and used inside the example configuration files.

@chrismayer @fschmenger do you already have an idea which server and layer could be used if needed later ?

Hi @sronveaux,
here`s the documentation of the WFS:
https://www.terrestris.de/en/wfs-webfeatureservice/

It seems that the domain ows-demo.terrestris.de does no longer exist. However I've seen their services being down previously, so let's give it a few days.

Hi all, I know the responsible people at terrestris and I try to clarify what the status is about the WFS. I'll update you once I know something.

Hi all,

Sure, nothing urgent here, moreover it is completely normal for a free service like this to be down some here and then... just wanted to pin this to keep an eye on it.

If the terrestris WFS is gone for good, we could take one of our demo WFS FeatureTypes at services.meggsimum.de, see the WFS Capabilities or we use some Open Data WFS of the German BKG ("Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy"). For example the POI WFS, see WFS Capabilities. Surely a bit focussed on Germany, but if we know a free "international" WFS please post here.

Maybe one of those will work?
