Docker Container

Geoserver is also packaged as a Docker Container. For more details, see the Geoserver Docker Container Project.

See the README.md file for more technical information.

Quick Start

This will run the container with the data directory shipped with the container (which is typically an empty directory).

  1. Make sure you have Docker installed.

  2. Download the container

    docker pull docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21-SNAPSHOT

  3. Run the container

    docker run -it -p8080:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21-SNAPSHOT

  4. Visit http://localhost:8080/geoserver.

Using your own Data Directory

This will run the container with a local data directory. The data directory will be mounted into the docker container.

Note

Change /MY/DATADIRECTORY to your data directory. If this directory is empty it will be populated with the standard Geoserver Sample Data Directory.

  1. Make sure you have Docker installed.

  2. Download the container

    docker pull docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21-SNAPSHOT

  3. Run the container

    docker run –mount type=bind,src=/MY/DATADIRECTORY,target=/opt/geoserver_data -it -p8080:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21-SNAPSHOT

  4. Visit http://localhost:8080/geoserver.

Adding Geoserver Extensions

You can add Geoserver Extensions - the container will download them during startup.

docker run -it -p8080:8080 –env INSTALL_EXTENSIONS=true –env STABLE_EXTENSIONS=”ysld,h2” docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21-SNAPSHOT

This will download and install the YSLD and H2 extension.

Here is a list of available extensions (taken from the Geoserver download page):
