GeoServer Container

Builds a Docker image of GeoServer deployed on Tomcat 9 (Corretto 11).

Building

Build the GeoServer image:

docker build -t geoserver .

By default, this will build a GeoServer 2.20.0 image.

Building a different version

A different version of the GeoServer image can be built by providing the GEOSERVER_VERSION and GEOSERVER_SHA1 build-time variables.

A list of versions and file hashes can be found under the GeoServer project on SourceForge.

Example command to build a GeoServer 2.19.3 image:

docker build --build-arg GEOSERVER_VERSION=2.19.3 --build-arg GEOSERVER_SHA1=a1793fb57004341b7c94f4b4f09428b2493b9fa6 -t geoserver .

Building a nightly build

An image of a GeoServer nightly build can be built by providing the GEOSERVER_NIGHTLY build-time variable.

Example command to build an image from the latest main nightly build:

docker build --build-arg GEOSERVER_NIGHTLY=main -t geoserver .

Running

Run GeoServer:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 geoserver

Once the container completes starting up, GeoServer can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/geoserver.

Data directory

An external data directory should be mounted and the environment variable GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR set.

Disable web interface

The web interface can be disabled by setting the environment variable:

CATALINA_OPTS=-DGEOSERVER_CONSOLE_DISABLED=true
