⁠About GeoServer Cloud

GeoServer⁠ is an open-source server for sharing geospatial data. GeoServer Cloud repackages GeoServer as a set of independently deployable and scalable microservices built on Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.

⁠What this image provides

A self-contained WCS microservice, supporting:

• WCS 1.0.0, 1.1.0/1.1.1, and 2.0.1
• GetCapabilities, DescribeCoverage, GetCoverage
• Subsetting by bounding box, time, and custom dimensions
• Input sources: GeoTIFF, Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG), ImagePyramid, NetCDF, ArcGrid, and other GeoTools coverage readers

The image is built on a GeoServer base layer and includes an AOT cache for fast JVM startup. It runs behind the GeoServer Cloud Gateway⁠, which routes /wcs requests to it.

⁠Tags

• <version> — stable release (e.g. 3.0.0)
• <version>-RC<n> — release candidate (e.g. 3.0.0-RC1)
• <version>-SNAPSHOT — development snapshot from main

No latest tag is published — always pin to a specific version. Images are multi-arch (linux/amd64, linux/arm64) and signed with cosign⁠.

⁠Quick start

Deploy together with the other GeoServer Cloud services via:

• Docker Compose: examples in the project repo⁠
• Kubernetes: the camptocamp/helm-geoserver-cloud⁠ Helm chart

Standalone smoke test (no config server, no catalog, no data):

docker run --rm -p 9103:9103 \
  -e SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=standalone,datadir \
  -e GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/tmp/datadir \
  geoservercloud/geoserver-cloud-wcs:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT
