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
