[Geoserver-users] Copy workspace to other geoserver instance

Paulius_Litvinas · July 2, 2015, 6:52am

Hello,

Is there a way to copy workspace with it‘s store connection (postgis), layers and groups to other geoserver instance. I tried simply to copy workspace folder from data dir to other geoserver data dir but this didn‘t worked. After restarting geoserver new workspace only apears in list, but data connection and all layers and groups of it are missing.

Maybe there is something I must do more?

Sincerely,

I have a custom GeoServer work directory, when I upgrade a server I copy over the whole folder

I.e. workspaces, coverages, styles etc – I then set up my new GeoServer instance to point at it and it’s as if I have cloned GeoServer (except extension and plugins which are stored in the tomcat container)

Hi all

I assume the problem is the encrypted postgis password. Each GeoServer instance uses its own keys for encryption.

You have to edit the datastore xml file. Lets assume your postgis password is “mypassword”, edit the following line.

<entry key="passwd">plain:mypassword</entry>

Restart GeoServer, open the GUI for editing the datastore and press save. Now your password should be encrypted with the proper key. You should see something like this:
