Hi @charalamm, yes, COG is only available from GDAL >= 3.1. Our Docker container still runs on 3.0.4. However, the designated COG driver is only a convenient shortcut for producing COGs. They can also be generated using GeoTiff driver and some specific configuration options, please see here: Cheers, PS: if you really want to upgrade GDAL, it would be best to update the base image (https://github.com/davidfrantz/base_image), and then use this as basis for building a new FORCE. However, as said, accidents might happen as this GDAL version was not tested.. |

Hello @davidfrantz! So, if I understand correctly there is no way to create COGs with FORCE without side effects since it is fully compatible only with GDAL 3.0.4. Even running FORCE without docker would require GDAL 3.0.4. Right? |

Not quite. It is guaranteed to be fully compatible with 3.0.4. It may, or may not work with higher versions. And as written, COGs can also be generated with 3.0.4, but not by simply naming the COG driver, but by using GeoTiff driver with specific output options (a COG is simply a specially configured GeoTiff). |

Hi @charalamm,
yes, COG is only available from GDAL >= 3.1. Our Docker container still runs on 3.0.4.
Note that updating the GDAL version often breaks things. This is why I stick to versions that are rigorously tested.
However, the designated COG driver is only a convenient shortcut for producing COGs. They can also be generated using GeoTiff driver and some specific configuration options, please see here:
