Has anybody used QGIS server to create OGC services? #5

According to the docs QGIS Server is:

an open source WMS 1.3, WFS 1.0.0 and WCS 1 1.1.1 implementation that, in addition, implements advanced cartographic features for thematic mapping. The QGIS Server is a FastCGI/CGI (Common Gateway Interface) application written in C++ that works together with a web server (e.g., Apache, Lighttpd). It has Python plugin support allowing for fast and efficient development and deployment of new features. It is funded by the EU projects Orchestra, Sany and the city of Uster in Switzerland.

Has anybody had any experience of setting this up and using it?

Could anybody write (or help to write) cookbook documentation on how to configure it to run OneGeology services, ideally with INSPIRE support?

I had a feeling too that this is quite closely related to MapServer, (does anybody know if this is so?) thinking that possibly could use this to configure MapServer (which has support for more versions of OGC interface standards)

It was mentioned in the October 2020 TIG that Carlos Mota ~ Serviço Geológico do Brasil (CRPM) had some experience
