GeoServer used in fun and interesting ways

Jody Garnett jody.garnett@geocat.net @jodygarnett GeoCat Government Geographic Data publishing Andrea Aime Technical Lead andrea.aime@geo-solutions.it @geowolf GeoSolutions Innovative, robust, cost-effective solutions leveraging best-of-breed Open Source products. This presentation is brought to you by

GeoServer at a Glance Java Web Application to share and edit geospatial data. Publish data from any major spatial data source using open standards. Core Protocols WMS – maps WFS – vector WFS-T – editing WCS – coverage WMTS – tiles TMS – tiles WMS-C – tiles Extension/community protocols WPS – process CSW – search OGC API - json + rest standards OGC STAC - spatio-temporal asset catalogue

Powered by GeoServer GeoServer is a real open source, and OSGeo, success story in its own right. ● Open Source GPL License ● Established project first released in 2001! ● Diverse global development community ● Open Source Geospatial Foundation Project since 2011 ● … but that is not what this talk is about! GeoServer, as a component, powers a wide ecosystem of great solutions!

Before we start! The following GeoServer examples are here: ● Provide confidence ● Inspire with what is possible ● Illustrate flexibility We want you to feel safe in your technology choice: - GeoServer can take on very challenging situations! - Most situations are not so challenging! Be amazed not terrified please!

Product Integrations

Cloud Native GeoServer Gabriel (camptocamp) has a neat project - distribution of GeoServer components optimized for a cloud-first environment: ● spring-boot ● microservices ● Replaced a 60 nodes cluster Now an official GeoServer repository: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver-cloud

GeoNode

GeoServer Enterprise (GeoCat) Commercial open-source distribution: ● Long-term-support ● Pre-configured WAR no need to install extensions Includes GeoCat Bridge publication from comfort of your Desktop GIS

GeoCat Live Spatial-Data-Infrastructure (SDI) in a box ● Catalogue services: GeoNetwork ● Mapping services: GeoServer ● Spatial database: PostGIS Includes GeoCat Bridge publication from comfort of your Desktop GIS Software-as-a-Service provided by a company dedicated to sustainable open source

https://www.georchestra.org/ geOrchestra provides independant and interoperable modules to build your own custom spatial data infrastructure: ● a data catalog based on GeoNetwork version 4.0.6, ● a map and feature server: GeoServer version 2.18.3, ● an advanced data access list manager: GeoFence, ● a map tiles server: GeoWebCache version 1.16.2, ● an advanced web map viewer with query, styling, editing functions, ● a data extractor to extract, reproject and download datasets from OGC services, ● a user, orgs & roles manager (“ldapadmin”), ● a module to display data usage statistics (“analytics”).

GeoServer Integrations

Cascading WMS for reprojecting / caching Ian Turton has helped use GeoServer to “supplement” less capable servers and clients. ● Added reprojection ● Caching for performance GeoServer WMS WMS WMS WMTS Web Clients

Cascade WFS for Business Intelligence styling Jody Garnett helped use GeoServer to provide dynamic styling of Business Intelligence data cube content ● Used SLD= to draw visualization produced by BI system GeoServer WFS WMS BI Dashboard WFS

GeoServer Keycloak OAuth2 Single Sign On security integration Example is from GeoCat Live, which uses Keycloak via OAuth2 in order to authenticate against a range of single sign on options such as ADFS. Keycloak Clients ADFS OAuth2
