Hello All,
I am working on a new project and part of it is to use Puppet for deploying machines, some of which are to have geoserver on them.
It’s not that complex, basically puppet allows you to provision hosts with files / data / packages etc - whatever you want.
When it comes to geoserver, I am just getting to a point where I need to basically tackle configuration. What I am doing at the moment is building a machine (linux) and installing the pre-reqs (tomcat etc) and then installing geoserver (all via aptitude). Once that is all up and running I need to configure it with the data and layers I want. Data isn’t an issue - it’s how the config works.
Currently I am building up my required layers manually via the gui the way I want, and then take a copy of the ‘workspaces’ folder which I then want to inject into any new build of my geoserver machine. (as well as the data source obviously, local tiff files for now).
Is this something that might theoretically work?
What I have found is that my workspace is created as required - as long as I have;
/workspaces/default.xml
/workspaces/[myworkspace]/namespace.xml
/workspaces/[myworkspace]/workspace.xml
But continuing down this route, and adding my layers and coverages in the same way doesn’t work.
I’m aware I could do all this with REST API commands (as well as with GUI) - and the REST interface is my next port of call, but I’d be interested in any insights to the above.
Thanks
Toby
I’ve been doing something similar with Chef, though I’m falling out of love with it. I went with the configuring with REST - once you have the data loaded the first time you can grab the REST output and then edit as needed and store it for upload later.

Thanks Ian, good to know.
When you say grab the REST output - from where would I theoretically be grabbing this? The logs?
Thanks

For example to set up a workspace (ian) you can GET http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/ian.xml and then when setting up a new one POST that xm l to http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces
The same follows for the other resources - I haven’t yet found out how to create a new grid set for GWC but I suspect that I need to change my endpoint.

It gets messy when you want to do the same thing repeatedly - so I want encapsulate things in to a recipe but there is no way to (easily) inject variables into the recipe. I suspect that if I persevere with it I’ll work it out but it seems clunky currently.
