Here is a sample Dockerfile for using it:
FROM camptocamp/mapserver
COPY *.map /etc/mapserver/
COPY *.sh *.env /docker-entrypoint.d/
The main mapfile should be /etc/mapserver/mapserver.map
.
Or you can use the image as is and mount volumes to customize it.
Only tags for minor releases exist, not tag for bug fixes.
If the container is run as root, apache listens on port 80
. If it is run as
another user, it listens on port 8080
.
All the bash snippets in /docker-entrypoint.d ending with .env
will
be sourced.
All the executable files in /docker-entrypoint.d ending with .sh
will
be executed by the default entrypoint.
All the files ending with .tmpl
in /etc/mapserver and /etc/apache2 (can be
changed by defining CONFD_DIRS in one of the sourced files) will go though
confd with the env
backend. The TOML files are created automagically to
create a file at the same location, with just the .tmpl
extension removed.
You can use the following environment variables (when starting the container) to tune it:
MS_DEBUGLEVEL
: The debug level0
=off5
=verboseMS_ERRORFILE
: If you want the debug to something other than STDOUTMAX_REQUESTS_PER_PROCESS
: To work around memory leaks (defaults to1000
)MIN_PROCESSES
: The minimum number of fcgi processes to keep (defaults to1
)MAX_PROCESSES
: The maximum number of fcgi processes to keep (defaults to5
)MAPSERVER_CATCH_SEGV
: Set to1
to have the stacktraces in case of crashLISTEN_PORT_80
: When running the container as an unprivileged user, apache will listen to port8080
instead of80
. Set to1
force listening to port80
instead.BUSY_TIMEOUT
: The maximum time limit for request handling (defaults to300
)IDLE_TIMEOUT
: Application processes which have not handled a request for this period of time will be terminated (defaults to300
)IO_TIMEOUT
: The maximum period of time the module will wait while trying to read from or write to a FastCGI application (defaults to40
)
This section is for if you would like to use more than one mapfile, or use a mapfile
that isn't /etc/mapserver/mapserver.map
.
In this example we have two mapfiles we want to use that both reference data in
different directories. My mapfiles are wms.map
and wfs.map
and are located
in /mapfiles/
on the host, and the data for these mapfiles is located in the
host in the directory /mapdata/wms
and /mapdata/wfs
.
docker run -d \
--restart=unless-stopped \
--volume=/mapfiles/wms.map/:/etc/mapserver/wms.map:ro \
--volume=/mapfiles/wfs.map/:/etc/mapserver/wfs.map:ro \
--volume=/mapdata/wms/:/mapdata/wms/:ro \
--volume=/mapdata/wfs/:/mapdata/wfs/:ro \
camptocamp/mapserver
For accessing maps for the WFS service add map=/etc/mapserver/wfs.map
to
your query string. Here is the URL for a GetCapabilities
request:
http://your.mapserver.host/?map=/etc/mapserver/wfs.map&service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities
Similarly, for accessing maps for the WMS service add map=/etc/mapserver/wms.map
to
your query string.
