When can we expect Esri enterprise geodatabase formats to work on Linux also?

As I understand things, currently one can only use the Esri enterprise geodatabase formats on a Windows host. When moving to kubernetes it is then needed to use queue control to direct those jobs to Windows VMs, which is not ideal.

When can we expect those drivers to also work on Linux? And is the problem on the Esri side or the Safe Software side?

Hi ​@bartvde,

I can shed some light here as I’ve investigated this situation recently to see if we could revisit our attempts to support Esri Enterprise Geodatabase on Linux: The answer is a solid no as we are blocked on Esri offering native support there first.

We do really want to offer support to our users but we are just blocked at this time.

I’d suggest reaching out to Esri.
