This Dockerfile can be used to create images for all geoserver versions since 2.5.
- Debian based Linux
- OpenJDK 11
- Tomcat 9
- GeoServer
- Support of custom fonts (e.g. for SLD styling)
- CORS support
- Support extensions
- Support additional libraries
To pull an official image use docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:{{VERSION}}
, e.g.:
docker pull docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
Afterwards you can run the pulled image locally with:
docker run -it -p 80:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
Or if you want to start the container daemonized, use e.g.:
docker run -d -p 80:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
Postgis conection HOST
host.docker.internal
Check http://localhost/geoserver to see the geoserver page,
and login with geoserver default admin:geoserver
credentials.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please change the default geoserver
and master
passwords.
For more information see the user-guide docker installation instructions.
To use an external folder as your geoserver data directory.
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--mount src="/absolute/path/on/host",target=/opt/geoserver_data/,type=bind \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
An empty data directory will be populated on first use. You can easily update GeoServer while using the same data directory.
This image populates /opt/geoserver_data/
with demo data by default. For production scenarios this is typically not desired.
The environment variable SKIP_DEMO_DATA
can be set to true
to create an empty data directory.
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--env SKIP_DEMO_DATA=true \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
By default, the ROOT webapp is not available which makes requests to the root endpoint "/" return a 404 error.
The environment variable ROOT_WEBAPP_REDIRECT
can be set to true
to issue a permanent redirect to the web interface.
The startup.sh
script allows some customization on startup:
INSTALL_EXTENSIONS
totrue
to download and install extensionsSTABLE_EXTENSIONS
list of extensions to download and installCORS_ENABLED
Example installing wps and ysld extensions:
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--env INSTALL_EXTENSIONS=true --env STABLE_EXTENSIONS="wps,ysld" \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
The list of extensions (taken from SourceForge download page):
app-schema gdal jp2k ogr-wps web-resource
authkey geofence libjpeg-turbo oracle wmts-multi-dimensional
cas geofence-server mapml params-extractor wps-cluster-hazelcast

csw h2 mysql sldservice wps
db2 imagemap netcdf-out sqlserver xslt
dxf importer netcdf vectortiles ysld
excel inspire ogr-wfs wcs2_0-eo
If you want to add geoserver extensions/libs, place the respective jar files in a directory and mount it like
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--mount src="/dir/with/libs/on/host",target=/opt/additional_libs,type=bind \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
If you want to add custom fonts (the base image only contains 26 fonts) by using a mount:
docker run -it -p 80:8080 \
--mount src="/dir/with/fonts/on/host",target=/opt/additional_fonts,type=bind \
docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
Note: Do not change the target value!
To watch geoserver.log
of a running container:
docker exec -it {CONTAINER_ID} tail -f /opt/geoserver_data/logs/geoserver.log
The docker-compose-demo.yml
to build with your own data directory and extensions.
Stage geoserver data directory contents into geoserver_data
, and any extensions into additional_libs
folder.
Run docker-compose
:
docker-compose -f docker-compose-demo.yml up --build
docker build -t {YOUR_TAG} .
After building run using local tag:
docker run -it -p 80:8080 {YOUR_TAG}
docker build \
--build-arg GS_VERSION={YOUR_VERSION} \
-t {YOUR_TAG} .
docker build \
--build-arg GS_DATA_PATH={RELATIVE_PATH_TO_YOUR_GS_DATA} \
-t {YOUR_TAG} .
Note: The passed path must not be absolute! Instead, the path should be within the build context (e.g. next to the Dockerfile) and should be passed as a relative path, e.g. GS_DATA_PATH=./my_data/
Yes! Just pass the --build-arg
param twice, e.g.
docker build \
--build-arg GS_VERSION={VERSION} \
--build-arg GS_DATA_PATH={PATH} \
-t {YOUR_TAG} .
Put your *.jar
files (e.g. the WPS extension) in the additional_libs
folder and build with one of the commands from above! (They will be copied to the GeoServer WEB-INF/lib
folder during the build.)
Note: Similar to the GeoServer data path from above, you can also configure the path to the additional libraries by passing the ADDITIONAL_LIBS_PATH
argument when building:
docker build \
--build-arg ADDITIONAL_LIBS_PATH={RELATIVE_PATH_TO_YOUR_LIBS}
-t {YOUR_TAG} .
OSGeo maintains geoserver-docker.osgeo.org repository for publishing. The results are combined into docker.osgeo.org repository alongside other software such as PostGIS.
Build locally:
docker build -t geoserver-docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1 .
Login using with osgeo user id:
docker login geoserver-docker.osgeo.org
Push to osgeo repository:
docker push geoserver-docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.21.1
