[Geoserver-users] Slicing geoserver data directory

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hi List,
is it possible to slice the data directory, like having the actual data separated from all the other config-files?
Thx and regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
it is actually advisable :slight_smile:

By default data stay inside the data directory so the config + the data is portable easily.
In real enterprise systems we tend to separate them.

Hi Andreas,
unfortunately there is no simple way to move files.

You either move them and reconfigure layers via the GUI or (risky, so backup the data dir) you can move the data and then change the path directly on the configuration on disk (inside the xml files) and then restart geoserver.

A couple options:

  • Use absolute paths (to a network share or fast disk or where your actual data lives)
  • Experiment with “geosever-environment.properties” as outlined here to avoid typing in the same absolute paths each time

Hi Jody,

Related to the second suggestion… is the Backup and Restore community module required to use the catalog parametrization?

Cheers,

Jim

The functionality moved to core.
