# A geoserver docker image
This Dockerfile can be used to create images for all geoserver versions since 2.5.
* Debian based Linux
* OpenJDK 11
* Tomcat 9
* GeoServer
* Support of custom fonts (e.g. for SLD styling)
* CORS support
* Support extensions
* Support additional libraries
This README.md file covers use of official docker image, additional [build](BUILD.md) and [release](RELEASE.md) instructions are available.
## How to run official release?
To pull an official image use ``docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:{{VERSION}}``, e.g.:
```shell
docker pull docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.23.1
```
Afterwards you can run the pulled image locally with:
```shell
docker run -it -p 80:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.23.1
```
Or if you want to start the container daemonized, use e.g.:
```shell
docker run -d -p 80:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.23.1
```
Check <http://localhost/geoserver> to see the geoserver page,
and login with geoserver default `admin:geoserver` credentials.
**IMPORTANT NOTE:** Please change the default ``geoserver`` and ``master`` passwords.
For more information see the user-guide [docker installation instructions](https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/installation/docker.html).
## How to mount an external folder for use as a data directory
To use an external folder as your geoserver data directory.
```shell
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--mount src="/absolute/path/on/host",target=/opt/geoserver_data/,type=bind \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.23.1
```
An empty data directory will be populated on first use. You can easily update GeoServer while
using the same data directory.
## How to start a GeoServer without sample data?
This image populates ``/opt/geoserver_data/`` with demo data by default. For production scenarios this is typically not desired.
The environment variable `SKIP_DEMO_DATA` can be set to `true` to create an empty data directory.
```shell
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--env SKIP_DEMO_DATA=true \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.23.1
```
## How to issue a redirect from the root ("/") to GeoServer web interface ("/geoserver/web")?
By default, the ROOT webapp is not available which makes requests to the root endpoint "/" return a 404 error.
The environment variable `ROOT_WEBAPP_REDIRECT` can be set to `true` to issue a permanent redirect to the web interface.
## How to download and install additional extensions on startup?
The ``startup.sh`` script allows some customization on startup:
* ``INSTALL_EXTENSIONS`` to ``true`` to download and install extensions
* ``STABLE_EXTENSIONS`` list of extensions to download and install
* ``CORS_ENABLED``
Example installing wps and ysld extensions:
```shell
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--env INSTALL_EXTENSIONS=true --env STABLE_EXTENSIONS="wps,ysld" \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.23.1
```
The list of extensions (taken from SourceForge download page):
```shell
app-schema gdal jp2k ogr-wps web-resource
authkey geofence libjpeg-turbo oracle wmts-multi-dimensional
cas geofence-server mapml params-extractor wps-cluster-hazelcast
charts geopkg-output mbstyle printing wps-cluster-hazelcast
control-flow grib mongodb pyramid wps-download
css gwc-s3 monitor querylayer wps-jdbc
csw h2 mysql sldservice wps
db2 imagemap netcdf-out sqlserver xslt
dxf importer netcdf vectortiles ysld
excel inspire ogr-wfs wcs2_0-eo
```
## How to install additional extensions from local folder?
If you want to add geoserver extensions/libs, place the respective jar files in a directory and mount it like
```shell
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--mount src="/dir/with/libs/on/host",target=/opt/additional_libs,type=bind \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.23.1
```
## How to add additional fonts to the docker image (e.g. for SLD styling)?
If you want to add custom fonts (the base image only contains 26 fonts) by using a mount:
```shell
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--mount src="/dir/with/fonts/on/host",target=/opt/additional_fonts,type=bind \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.23.1
```
**Note:** Do not change the target value!
## How to use the docker-compose demo?
The ``docker-compose-demo.yml`` to build with your own data directory and extensions.
Stage geoserver data directory contents into ``geoserver_data``, and any extensions into ``additional_libs`` folder.
Run ``docker-compose``:
```shell
docker-compose -f docker-compose-demo.yml up --build
```
## Troubleshooting
### How to watch geoserver.log from host?
To watch ``geoserver.log`` of a running container:
```shell
docker exec -it {CONTAINER_ID} tail -f /opt/geoserver_data/logs/geoserver.log
```
