forked from xdocker/xgeoserver
Note This docker project is still in development and may not work for
you yet!
A simple docker container that runs Geoserver influenced by this docker
recipe: https://github.com/eliotjordan/docker-geoserver/blob/master/Dockerfile
Note: We recommend using apt-cacher-ng to speed up package fetching -
you should configure the host for it in the provided 71-apt-cacher-ng file.
There are various ways to get the image onto your system:
The preferred way (but using most bandwidth for the initial image) is to
get our docker trusted build like this:
docker pull kartoza/geoserver
To build the image yourself without apt-cacher-ng (also consumes more bandwidth
since deb packages need to be refetched each time you build) do:
docker build -t kartoza/geoserver git://github.com/kartoza/docker-geoserver
To build with apt-cacher-ng (and minimised download requirements) do you need to
clone this repo locally first and modify the contents of 71-apt-cacher-ng to
match your cacher host. Then build using a local url instead of directly from
github.
git clone git://github.com/kartoza/docker-geoserver
Now edit 71-apt-cacher-ng then do:
docker build -t kartoza/postgis .
You probably want to also have postgis running too. To create a running
container do:
sudo docker run --name "postgis" -d -t kartoza/postgis
sudo docker run --name "geoserver" --link postgis:postgis -p 8080:8080 -d -t kartoza/geoserver
You can also use the following environment variables to pass a
user name and password. To postgis:
These will be used to create a new superuser with
your preferred credentials. If these are not specified then the postgresql
user is set to 'docker' with password 'docker'.
Docker volumes can be used to persist your data.
mkdir -p ~/geoserver_data
docker run -d -v $HOME/geoserver_data:/opt/geoserver_data kartoza/geserver
You need to ensure the geoserver_data directory has sufficinet permissions
for the docker process to read / write it.
