geobuilds

Prerequisites

Install epel-release for CentOS 7 and update packages.

$ sudo yum install epel-release
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install wget nano git unzip

Clone the geobuilds repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/LMID-DIMT/geobuilds
$ cd geobuilds

/scripts

A series of shell scripts that will install OSGeo projects (PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GeoServer) on a fresh CentOS 7 install.

build-pgsql.sh

This shell script will install PostgreSQL 10 along with spatial extensions PostGIS and Pgrouting.

Alternative version options for PostgreSQL.

If you plan on using an alternative PostgreSQL version, be sure to edit the shell script variables appropriately. For example, if you decide to use PostgreSQL 11 rather than 10...

PSQL_URL=https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/11/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos11-11-2.noarch.rpm
PSQL_RPM=pgdg-centos11-11-2.noarch.rpm

PSQL_VER=postgresql11
PGIS_VER=postgis24_11
PGRT_VER=pgrouting_11

PSQL_LOC=/usr/pgsql-11

Get Started

$ cd scripts
$ sudo chmod +x build-pgsql.sh
$ sudo ./build-pgsql.sh

Usually running shell scripts with sudo is not recommended, however there are proper ways of doing this. Running these scripts with sudo will avoid the user continually entering root passwords.

Upon Completion

Check PostgreSQL version.

$ psql -V
psql (PostgreSQL) 10.6

build-geoserver.sh

This shell script will install Oracle Java 8 JDK and GeoServer

Alternative version options for Oracle Java JDK and GeoServer.

If you plan on using alternative Oracle Java JDK and GeoServer versions, be sure to edit the shell script variables appropriately. However, Oracle Java 8 JDK and GeoServer 2.13.0 are compatible with one another.

$ cd scripts
$ sudo chmod +x bashrc.sh
$ sudo chmod +x build-geoserver.sh
$ sudo ./build-geoserver.sh

Usually running shell scripts with sudo is not recommended, however there are proper ways of doing this. Running these scripts with sudo will avoid the user continually entering root passwords.

Upon Completion

When the script has completed, exit the shell and open a new one. Check Java version.

$ java -version

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_191-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.191-b12, mixed mode)

Start Geoserver.

$ /usr/local/geoserver/bin/startup.sh

/service

A series of CentOS service files to easily manage OSGeo projects.

geoserver

A service file which will allow you to start, stop, restart and check the status of your new GeoServer instance.

$ sudo cp service/geoserver /etc/init.d/
$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/geoserver/
$ sudo service geoserver start

Starting geoserver…
