mapboss/geoserver repository overview

⁠docker-geoserver-appschema

Simple Dockerfile to build an image running GeoServer (plus app-schema extension) on Tomcat 8 and JRE 8.

⁠Configuration from host

Example of mounting a GeoServer data directory present on the Docker host:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -v /data/dir/on/host:/opt/webapps/geoserver/data wetransform/geoserver-appschema

⁠Waiting for the database

When running the image it will automatically wait for the database connection to a default PostGIS database being ready before starting GeoServer. This applies if you link a database container to this image as "db" with PostGIS default port 5432, for example:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --link mydbcontainer:db wetransform/geoserver-appschema

mydbcontainer in this case should be a PostGIS container with port 5432 exposed.

⁠Environment variables

GS_ADMIN_PASSWORD GS_MASTER_PASSWORD

These variables can be used to conveniently set administrator and master passwords if you do not use a custom data directory but don't want to use the default passwords (e.g. in publicly accessible test environments). Passwords are expected to provided as

• GeoServer digest encrypted password (digest1:hashedPasswordAndSalt) recommended
• GeoServer plain text password (plain:password)
• or simply the plain password

If an admin password is provided but no master password, the admin password is used as the master password as well.

Example call:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -e GS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword wetransform/geoserver-appschema

Tip: To create a GeoServer digest encrypted password use the provided script gsdigest.groovy <password> - it will print the prefix and the encrypted password to standard out.
