carletes/mapserver repository overview

⁠A FastCGI MapServer instance

This image implements a MapServer⁠ instance accepting FastCGI⁠ connections.

It listens by default on port 9001, and expects MapServer map files and related data to be available in a volume mounted on /data.

⁠Usage

The following will start a MapServer instance listening on port 9001 for FastCGI connections, and serving MapServer data from the directory /some/mapserver/data:

$ docker run \
    --volume=/some/mapserver/data:/data:ro \
	carletes/mapserver

If you want to listen on a different port, use the FCGI_LISTEN_PORT environment variable:

$ docker run \
    --volume=/some/mapserver/data:/data:ro \
	--env=FCGI_LISTEN_PORT=9022 \
	carletes/mapserver

You will need a web server to expose MapServer to your clients via HTTP. The GitHub repository carletes/docker-mapserver-example⁠ shows a way of doing it.

⁠Configurable parameters

The following environment variables can set in order to tweak the behaviour of MapServer:

All MapServer environment variables⁠ may be specified as well. This images runs with the following non-default MapServer environment variables:
