Deployment And Setup Of GeoServer With WPS Remote Plugin¶
The following commands will prepare a CentOS 7 Minimal ISO machine for the deployment of:
GeoServer with the following plugins:
GeoServer WPS
GeoServer Remote WPS Orchestrator
GeoServer Importer
The OS iso has been downloaded from::
http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1503-01.iso
Preparation of the system: standard and basic OS packages¶
Hostname and other useful packages¶
Update the file /etc/hosts
making sure that the ip addreses matches the name of the machine.
# as root
$> yum -y install man vim openssh-clients mc zip unzip wget net-tools
Configure the Java Virtual Environment¶
# as root
$> wget --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackupcookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u65-b17/jdk-8u74-linux-x64.tar.gz
$> tar xzvf jdk-8u65-linux-x64.tar.gz
$> mkdir /usr/java
$> mv jdk1.8.0_65/ /usr/java/
$> alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_65/bin/java 20000

# Verify the proper installation on the JDK
$> java -version
java version "1.8.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17)

$> javac -version

Installing Apache Tomcat¶
# as root
$> yum -y install tomcat-webapps
$> systemctl disable tomcat.service
$> cp /etc/sysconfig/tomcat /etc/sysconfig/geoserver
$> ln -s /usr/share/tomcat/ /opt/tomcat
Creating apache tomcat HOME context
Creating base template directory
# as root
$> mkdir -p /var/lib/tomcat/geoserver/{bin,conf,logs,temp,webapps,work}
$> cp -Rf /opt/tomcat/conf/* /var/lib/tomcat/geoserver/conf/
Creating geoserver apache tomcat BASE context
Make sure you already:
installed tomcat (Installing apache tomcat)
created the base catalina template (Creating apache tomcat HOME context)
Edit server.xml
file
GeoServer is the first tomcat instance we are installing in this VM, so we can keep the default ports:
8005 for commands to catalina instance
8009 for the AJP connection port
8080 for the HTTP connection port
Remember that you may change these ports in the file /var/lib/tomcat/geoserver/conf/server.xml
Final configurations
Set the ownership of the geoserver/
related directories to user tomcat
# as root
$> chown tomcat: -R /var/lib/tomcat/geoserver
$> cp /etc/tomcat/tomcat.conf /etc/tomcat/geoserver.conf
$> vi /etc/tomcat/geoserver.conf
# This variable is used to figure out if config is loaded or not.

# In new-style instances, if CATALINA_BASE isn't specified, it will
# be constructed by joining TOMCATS_BASE and NAME.

Deploy And Configure GeoServer¶
First deployment
# as root
# Git and Maven must be installed on the system
$> yum -y install git
$> yum -y install maven
# Verify the Maven installation and double check that the JDK recognized is the Java Sun 1.7+
