A quickstart for GeoServer to run on OpenShift
I used Tomcat 7 (JBoss EWS 2.0)
This is based on GeoServer 2.6.0 RC1 WAR file.
To fully appreciate what is happening here please read the blog post to accompany this repo.
The SQL files were originally obtained from Santa Cruz county http://gis.co.santa-cruz.ca.us/file_download_site/ as shapefiles
They were then reprojected to EPSG:4326 and converted to PostGIS SQL (using ogr2ogr)
=============================
Here are the instructions to add this git repo to a blank tomcat 7 application local git repo.
Given the size of this repository in Megabytes, it will definitely timeout and fail if you try to use it with --from-code
git remote add github -m master git@github.com:thesteve0/geoserver-on-openshift.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs github master
git push origin
This WAR file takes a very long time to deploy, please be patient.
Once it works, the URL to access it will be:
http://geoserver-{your domain}.rhcloud.com/web
Please change the default username and password immediately
