How to setup the geospatial stack for Clowder.

Requirements

Docker
Core Clowder setup (running in Docker or on host)

Clowder Running Inside Docker

Download docker-compose.geo.yml
Setup geoserver
- Start geoserver with docker-compose -f docker-compose.geo.yml up geoserver
- Open http://localhost:8081/geoserver
- Change admin password
- Stop geoserver
Depending on your Docker setup, the default environmental variables should work. If not you can modify them in a .env file. In the case of Clowder is running on host clowderhost.net, the .env file will looks something like this (fix passwords):
Run docker-compose -f docker-compose.geo.yml up

Clowder Running Outside Docker

Download docker-compose.geo.yml
You will need to expose the Geoserver port to the host. We recommend you keep this behind a firewall and only make it accessible to the host running the Clowder webapp.
- Add the following to the geoserver service entry in docker-compose.geo.yml:
  - ports:
    - 8081:8080
Setup geoserver
- Start geoserver with docker-compose -f docker-compose.geo.yml up geoserver
- Open http://localhost:8081/geoserver
- Change admin password
- Stop geoserver
Create .env file and set the appropriate env variables in it. For example if the Clowder core services are running on host clowderhost.net, the .env file will looks something like this (fix passwords):

RABBITMQ_URI=amqp://guest:guest@clowderhost.net:5672/%2F
REGISTRATION_ENDPOINTS=http://clowderhost.net:9000/clowder/api/extractors?key=xxx
PROXY_ON=true
PROXY_HOST=http://clowderhost.net:9000/clowder/
PROXY_URL=http://clowderhost.net:9000/clowder/api/proxy/
GEOSERVER_USERNAME=admin
GEOSERVER_PASSWORD=geoserver
GEOSERVER_WORKSPACE=
GEOSERVER_URL=http://geoserver:8080/geoserver/
PYCSW_URL=http://pycswserver:8000/pycsw/

Add a proxy entry to the Clowder custom.conf file:

clowder.proxy {
  geoserver="http://localhost:8081/geoserver",
  authtest="http://username:12345@httpbin.org/basic-auth/username/12345"
}

Run docker-compose -f docker-compose.geo.yml up
