MapAdmin

MapAdmin is a web administration interface and a PHP wrapper around MapServer which allows to manipulate mapfiles in a RESTFul way. It has been developped to match as close as possible the way the GeoServer REST API acts.

It is Free and Open Source Software. All contributions are most welcome!

docker build \
  --target apache \
  --build-arg MAPSERVER_VERSION="8.0.1" \
  --build-arg MAPCACHE_VERSION="1.14.0" \
  --build-arg NGINX_VERSION="1.26.0" \
  -t mapserver:8.0-1.14-apache .

Run the Docker container

docker run \
  -d -p 80:80 \
  -v "path/to/folder:/var/www/data_dir" \
  --name mapserver \
  mapserver:8.0-1.14-apache

Execute commands in the container

docker exec \
  -it mapserver \
  mapcache_seed -c /var/www/data_dir/mapcache.xml -t "$tileSetName" -g "$gridName"
