Docker-Mapserver

A dockerized mapserver for CosmoScout csp-lod bodies. The repo contains two dockerfiles base.Dockerfile and example.Dockerfile.

base.Dockerfile

This docker mapserver allows user to use their own dataset. The webserver is exposed on port 80.

To build the docker image:

docker buildx build -f base.Dockerfile . -t image_name

To run a container and bind your dataset in pwd:

docker run -p 8080:80 \ 
-v "$(pwd)":/storage/mapserver-datasets \  
image_name

The command above runs a container, binds localhost port 8080 to container port 80, and mounts the dataset in the pwd to containers /storage/mapserver-datasets directory.

example.Dockerfile

This docker file uses base.Dockerfile as its base image and contains NASA's Blue Marble and the Natural Earth image datasets and ETOPO1 elevation data. The shell file datas.sh downloads the dataset and copies them to the containers working directory. The storage directory in the repository consists of the epsg and .map files.

To build a image:

docker buildx build -f example.Dockerfile . -t image_name

To run a container:

docker run -p 8080:80 image_name

To ensure that everything is working as intended, one can simply disable apache2 using the following command:

service apache2 stop
