[Geoserver-users] Read only data directory

Hello all,

Is there a way I can work with a read only data directory? I have a mounted drive (read only) that contains a number of geotiff files that I want to use in an image mosaic, but geoserver writes various stuff to the data folder (shapfile and sc files, + sample image). Can I tell geoserver to write these somewhere else?

Thanks in advance,

T

Ciao Tobias,
if my memory serves me right it is supported to have the config of the
imagemosaic in one dir and the actual data to be indexed somewhere
else.

If you check this page:
http://geoserver.geo-solutions.it/multidim/en/imagemosaic/mosaic_indexer.html

you'll see that you can drop an indexer.properties file in a
directory, use the IndexingDirectories parameter as explained here to
tell ImageMosaic the path to index and then configure the imagemosaic
in geoserver to point at the directory where the indexer properties
resides.

Let us know how it goes. If you find problems, we'll help out.

Regards,
Simone Giannecchini
