Automated Linux Server Management with Ansible
Shared Linux servers are often configured manually via SSH, making changes difficult to track and hard to reproduce on additional systems. A well established solution to this problem is declarative infrastructure management with Ansible. Instead of configuring servers step by step by hand, the desired infrastructure is described as code. Rather than executing commands directly [...]
Accessibility Analysis via API
In the CITWIN project, a generic digital twin framework is being developed to analyze changes in active mobility infrastructure in the context of the 15-minute city. To integrate accessibility analyses into this architecture, a standalone REST API was implemented using Python / FastAPI. The API provides the calculation of walking- and cycling-based accessibility to public [...]
Long Night of Research 2026: Making Geoinformatics Tangible
During the Long Night of Research at the Unipark Salzburg, we had the opportunity to show a broad audience how research can make a very concrete contribution to creating liveable cities. Our station was visited by many families and offered plenty of space for discussion – with both young and old. Motivated by the EU [...]
