⁠GeoServer Docker

GeoServer is an open source server for sharing geospatial data. It can publish data from most common spatial data sources using open standards. This docker image is built with a number of common plugins and fonts to help you get up and running quickly.

⁠Installation

This image is available as a download on the docker hub, and can be used directly or as a starting point for your own image. Pull the image from the docker hub.

$ docker pull thinkwhere/geoserver

You can also download the source repository to build your own custom image.

$ git clone https://github.com/thinkwhere/GeoServer-docker.git⁠

⁠Build & Run

If you wish to build this container with your own preferred options, download the docker build files from our github repository:

Git repository: https://github.com/thinkWhere/GeoServer-Docker⁠

It is recommended that Geoserver is run with an external geoserver_data directory mapped as a docker volume allowing the configuration to be persisted or shared with other instances. To create a running container with an external volume do:

mkdir -p ~/geoserver_data
docker run \
    --name=geoserver_8085 \
    -p 8085:8080 \
    -d \
    -v $HOME/geoserver_data:/opt/geoserver/data_dir \
    -e "GEOSERVER_LOG_LOCATION=/opt/geoserver/data_dir/logs/geoserver_8085.log" \
    -t thinkwhere/geoserver

For installations with multiple containers on the same machine, map port 8080 to a different port for each instance. It is recommended that the instance name contains the mapped port no for ease of reference. Also use a separate log file for each instance as shown in the example above.

⁠Setting Tomcat properties

To set Tomcat properties such as maximum heap memory size, create a setenv.sh file such as:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx1024M"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled"

Then pass the setenv.sh file as a volume at /usr/local/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh when running:

docker run -d
-v $HOME/tomcat/setenv.sh:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh
thinkwhere/geserver
