GeoServer + PostGIS Docker Image


orlade/docker-geoserver-postgis on Docker Hub

Docker image for an instance of GeoServer with a connection to a remote PostGIS data store. Builds on the kartoza/geoserver image (GitHub), and provides numerous options to configure both the PostGIS connection and GeoServer workspace.

Configuration

Provide the following environment variables at runtime to configure the connection to PostGIS:

• PG_HOSTNAME: The hostname of the PostgreSQL database server.
• PG_PORT: The port of the PostgreSQL database server that PostgreSQL is serving on.
• PG_USERNAME : The username of the PostgreSQL user used by the app.
• PG_PASSWORD: The password of the PostgreSQL user used by the app.
• PG_DATABASE: The name of the PostgreSQL database to connect to.

You can optionally provide the following environment variables to configure GeoServer as well:

• GEOSERVER_USERNAME: The username for the GeoServer admin user. Defaults to "admin".

• GEOSERVER_PASSWORD: The password for the GeoServer admin user. Defaults to "geoserver".

• GEOSERVER_WORKSPACE: The workspace to set up for the app. Defaults to PG_DATABASE.

• GEOSERVER_NAMESPACE: The namespace to use within the workspace. Defaults to http://$GEOSERVER_WORKSPACE.com.

• GEOSERVER_NAMESPACE_ID: The ID of the new namespace. Defaults to GEOSERVER_WORKSPACE.

• GEOSERVER_DATASTORE: The name of the datastore to create in the workspace. Defaults to GEOSERVER_WORKSPACE.

• GEOSERVER_STYLENAME: The name of the style to create in the workspace. Defaults to GEOSERVER_WORKSPACE.

  Note: Creating the style requires that you place a style.sld file into the /data/styles/ directory of this repository before building the image. You can get an SLD file in the right format by uploading a style to a local GeoServer instance and exploring its data_dir/workspaces/<your_workspace>/styles directory. To keep this file private, fork this repository into a private repository, commit your own style file and rebuild with Docker.

GEOSERVER_HOME is defined by the parent image (kartoza/geoserver) as the location in which GeoServer is installed (/opt/geoserver).

Note: The PostgreSQL and GeoServer passwords will be stored in plain text within the container.
