4 years ago First, really appreciate this masterpiece. I am able to up a geoserver in less than 5 minutes (compared to few hours if i didn't use docker)
Now, I am able to use docker volume to create a store inside the geoserver, with the data files from my host. It works brilliant.
Next, I have a question. Assuming I have created a store (eg: a vector data shapefile is added), how do I share/clone this entire thing to my colleagues, such that he/she need not setup an empty geoserver again, but could immediately have all i have at the latest state?
If you are using docker volume you have two ways to get your friend on the same wavelength with you.
-
run docker inspect your container and see where your volume is mounted from. ie docker inspect geoserver |grep volume You can then copy the folder and share it with your friend
-
Alternatively log in to the running container and copy the geoserver data directory and share the folder with your friend
- When your friend spins up his running instance he should use a local geoserver data directory.
-
Otherwise in production environments, you should ideally have all your data in a DB
