Running

Get the image:

Custom GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR

Run as a service, exposing port 8080 and using a hosted GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v ${PWD}/data_dir:/var/local/geoserver oscarfonts/geoserver

Custom UID and GID

The tomcat user uid and gid can be customized with CUSTOM_UID and CUSTOM_GID environment variables, so that the mounted data_dir and exts_dir are accessible by both geoserver and a given host user. Usage example:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e CUSTOM_UID=$(id -u) -e CUSTOM_GID=$(id -g) oscarfonts/geoserver

Custom extensions

To add extensions to your GeoServer installation, provide a directory with the unzipped extensions separated by directories (one directory per extension):

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v ${PWD}/exts_dir:/var/local/geoserver-exts/ oscarfonts/geoserver

You can use the build_exts_dir.sh script together with a extensions configuration file to create your own extensions directory easily.

Warning: The .jar files contained in the extensions directory will be copied to the WEB-INF/lib directory of the GeoServer installation. Make sure to include only .jar files from trusted sources to avoid security risks.

Custom configuration directory

It is also possible to configure the context path by providing a Catalina configuration directory:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v ${PWD}/config_dir:/usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost oscarfonts/geoserver

See some examples.
