# Docker GeoServer image
This docker GeoServer image is based on the following proposal:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-192
Work is still in progress!
## How it works
1. The [Dockerfile](Dockerfile)
1. installs dependencies
1. installs the GeoServer by downloading and extracting the war file
1. defines defaults for environment variables
1. The [entrypoint.sh](scripts/entrypoint.sh) startup script (in a running container)
1. executes [install-extensions.sh](scripts/install-extensions.sh) to download and install GeoServer extensions based on the `STABLE_EXTENSIONS` environment variable.
1. handles the `GEOSERVER_OPTS`
1. starts the tomcat
## Quickstart
You can quickstart by using the docker-compose demo
`docker-compose -f docker-compose-demo.yml up --build`
(use `sudo` if you get problems with mounted geoserver data dir)
## Building
`docker build -t geoserver:test .`
## Running
`docker run -it -e DOWNLOAD_EXTENSIONS='true' -e STABLE_EXTENSIONS='wps,csw' -p 8080:8080 geoserver:test`
The extensions will be downloaded on startup of the image (before starting the tomcat).
## Configuration
Pass as environment variables. If not passed, the default values will be used.
* `GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR` (default: /opt/geoserver_data)
* `INITIAL_MEMORY` (default: 2G)
* `MAXIMUM_MEMORY` (default: 4G)
* `JAIEXT_ENABLED` (default: true)
* `DOWNLOAD_EXTENSIONS` (default: false)
* `STABLE_EXTENSIONS` applies only if `DOWNLOAD_EXTENSIONS` is true: provide a comma separated list of extension identifiers and they will be downloaded and installed on startup (default: "")
## TODOs
* configuration of JNDI connections in the tomcat/custom tomcat configuration in general
* default data for gs datadir?
* log4j properties
* add possibility to add custom fonts
* starting from which version we want to provide geoserver images/backwards compatability?
