Geoserver data directory migration Configuration

Previously, the directory where geoserver stores data is the./tomcat/webapps/geoserver/data directory.

We can cp the contents of the directory to the same directory of the new server, but now we find that this is not the best way to transfer data:

Official documents: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/datadirectory/data-dir-setting.html

In Linux, we can set the environment variables of the data directory:

% Export geoserver_data_dir =/var/lib/geoserver_data

You can also configure geoserver/WEB-INF/Web. xml:

<Web-app>... <context-param> <param-Name> geoserver_data_dir </param-Name> <param-value>/var/lib/geoserver_data </param-value> </context-param>... </Web-app>

After Tomcat is restarted, geoserver automatically identifies the new data directory And loads the resources.

 

End.
