I have GeoServer deployed to a remote server. I have an external data
directory that I update frequently with GIS data from my development
environment and move to the remote server.
I also have an aerial imagery pyramid layer in my data directory. When I
copy my development data directory to the remote server I don't want to copy
the aerial imagery more often than I need to.
Is there a way I can separate my aerial imagery from my GeoServer Data
Directory? Maybe have two GeoServer directories, one that gets updated
frequently and quickly without the imagery, and one that houses the imagery?
Your data references can access any file resource on your system, it is common to have GeoServer make use of files in a “common GIS data” folder that you use with other applications.
So set up your geoserver data directory focused on configuration, and manage your geospatial data in whatever manner (and whatever frequency) suites your needs.
Finally if you still want to make use of “relative” file URLs, rather than absolute file URLs to external folders on your computer, you can add symbolic links using the linux “ln” command.
