Externalizations and java opts

[conjame]

@randomorder what needs to be externalize? what java opts needs to be set?

[randomorder]

Directories:

• [x] geoserver logs
• [ ] audits directory
• [x] geoserver datadir
• [x] gwc config dir
• [x] gwc cache dir

This is done via Java Opts:

Provisional Java Opts (we'll improve them later):

JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseParallelOldGC -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/path/to/datadir -DGEOWEBCACHE_CONFIG_DIR=/path/to/datadir/gwc -DGEOSERVER_LOG_LOCATION=/path/to/logs/dir/geoserver.log -DGEOSERVER_NODE_OPTS=id:<color> -DALLOW_ENV_PARAMETRIZATION=true -Xbootclasspath/a:/path/to//webapps/dir/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/marlin-0.9.2-Unsafe.jar -Xbootclasspath/p:/path/to//webapps/dir/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/marlin-0.9.2.sun-java2d.jar -DGEOSERVER_AUDIT_PATH=/path/to/audits/dir/ -DPROXY_BASE_URL=http://publichostname/geoserver

Note:

• "-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m" those numbers Must be configurable in Ansible
• make sure these files exist: /path/to//webapps/dir/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/marlin-0.9.2-Unsafe.jar /path/to//webapps/dir/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/marlin-0.9.2.sun-java2d.jar
• we assign a different color to each one of the geoserver instances "red" and "blue"
• place all externalized directories under /var where the CATALINA_BASE of the Tomcat installation for GeoServer is

A basic and incomplete cofiguration for this issue has already been merged in the main repo.

Todo:

• complete configuration
• testing
