The samples provided by default when using GWC as a standalone application uses services from a Boundless GeoServer which no longer exists.

Several options are possible to take care of this:

  • No longer provide samples
  • Use another server
    • We must be sure that the service is generally available and is ok to be requested by GWC users
    • The samples are about 3 layers : does the service must provide the same 3 layers? Or a single sample is good enough?

@jodygarnett suggested to use the service of geocat (https://maps.geocat.net/geoserver/web/, layer geocat:basemap). @aaime suggested https://gs-stable.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/ but wasn't sure of the availability of services and layers.

Another solution could be to use a WMS/WFS service of some public authority.
