A geoserver docker image
This Dockerfile can be used to create images for all geoserver versions since 2.5.
Based on tomcat:9-jre11-openjdk-slim:
- Debian based Linux
- OpenJDK 11
- Tomcat 9
- GeoServer
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please change the default geoserver master password! The default masterpw is located in this file (within the docker container): /opt/geoserver_data/security/masterpw/default/masterpw
How to build?
docker build -t {YOUR_TAG} .
How to quickstart?
Build the image as described above, then:
docker run -it -p 80:8080 {YOUR_TAG}
or if you want to start the container daemonized:
docker run -d -p 80:8080 {YOUR_TAG}
Check http://localhost/geoserver to see the geoserver page and login with geoserver defaults admin:geoserver
How to build a specific GeoServer version?
docker build --build-arg GS_VERSION={YOUR_VERSION} -t {YOUR_TAG} .
How to build with custom geoserver data?
docker build --build-arg GS_DATA_PATH={RELATIVE_PATH_TO_YOUR_GS_DATA} .
Note: The passed path must not be absolute! Instead, the path should be within the build context (e.g. next to the Dockerfile) and should be passed as a relative path, e.g. GS_DATA_PATH=./my_data/
Can I build a specific GS version with custom data?
Yes! Just pass the --build-arg param twice, e.g.
... --build-arg GS_VERSION={VERSION} --build-arg GS_DATA_PATH={PATH} ...
How to build with additional libs/extensions/plugins?
Put your *.jar files (e.g. the WPS extension) in the additional_libs folder and build with one of the commands from above! (They will be copied to the GeoServer WEB-INF/lib folder during the build.)
Note: Similar to the GeoServer data path from above, you can also configure the path to the additional libraries by passing the ADDITIONAL_LIBS_PATH argument when building:
--build-arg ADDITIONAL_LIBS_PATH={RELATIVE_PATH_TO_YOUR_LIBS}
How to add additional libs using an existing docker image?
If you want to add geoserver extensions/libs by using a mount, you can add something like
--mount src="https://github.com/dir/with/libs/on/host",target=/opt/additional_libs,type=bind
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, you can add something like
--mount src="https://github.com/dir/with/fonts/on/host",target=/opt/additional_fonts,type=bind
to your docker run command.
Note: Do not change the target value!
How to watch geoserver.log from host?
docker exec -it {CONTAINER_ID} tail -f /opt/geoserver_data/logs/geoserver.log
How to use the docker-compose demo?
docker-compose -f docker-compose-demo.yml up --build
