This repository hosts a sample Docker-based MapServer setup. It uses the MapServer image from carletes/mapserver and the official Nginx image. It includes some of the map files and data from the MapServer tutorial, edited to use absolute paths.
Install Docker Compose and
run the following command from the docker-compose directory:
$ docker-compose up
You will then be able to access the following sample MapServer URLs:
- http://localhost/mapserver/?map=example1-1.map&layers=all&mode=map
- http://localhost/mapserver/?map=example1-2.map&layers=all&mode=map
- http://localhost/mapserver/?map=example1-3.map&layers=all&mode=map
- http://localhost/mapserver/?map=example1-4.map&layers=all&mode=map
- http://localhost/mapserver/?map=example1-5.map&layers=all&mode=map
- http://localhost/mapserver/?map=example1-6.map&layers=all&mode=map
- http://localhost/mapserver/?map=example1-7.map&layers=all&mode=map
Install Minikube and start the local Kubernetes instance. This step will take several minutes:
$ minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes cluster...
Starting VM...
Downloading Minikube ISO
89.51 MB / 89.51 MB [==============================================] 100.00% 0s
SSH-ing files into VM...
Setting up certs...
Starting cluster components...
Connecting to cluster...
Setting up kubeconfig...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
$
Disable the default storage class:
$ minikube addons disable default-storageclass
default-storageclass was successfully disabled
$
On a separate terminal, mount the sample mapserver data into the Minikube VM:
$ minikube mount $(pwd)/mapserver
Now load the Kubernetes deployment descriptors. First the Minikube-specific ones:
$ kubectl create -f k8s/minikube
Then the generic ones:
$ kubectl create -f k8s/common
The components will take a while to load. You can monitor the progess using the Kubernetes dashboard:
$ minikube dashboard
Once the mapserver service is available, get its URL:
$ export MAPSERVER_URL=$(minikube service --url mapserver)
You should now be able to access the following sample MapServer URLs:
$ open ${MAPSERVER_URL}'/mapserver/?map=example1-1.map&layers=all&mode=map'
$ open ${MAPSERVER_URL}'/mapserver/?map=example1-2.map&layers=all&mode=map'
$ open ${MAPSERVER_URL}'/mapserver/?map=example1-3.map&layers=all&mode=map'
$ open ${MAPSERVER_URL}'/mapserver/?map=example1-4.map&layers=all&mode=map'
$ open ${MAPSERVER_URL}'/mapserver/?map=example1-5.map&layers=all&mode=map'
$ open ${MAPSERVER_URL}'/mapserver/?map=example1-6.map&layers=all&mode=map'
$ open ${MAPSERVER_URL}'/mapserver/?map=example1-7.map&layers=all&mode=map'
(Under Linux, use xdg-open instead of open).
