Common Development Tasks
Rebuild, restart, view logs, run tests, and other day-to-day commands.
All commands below are run inside the container (with # prompt):
Rebuild after code changes:
# cd /workspace/geoserver/src
# mvn install -T 2C
Or rebuild specific module (faster):
# mvn install -T 2C -pl web/app -am
Restart GeoServer:
# restart-geoserver.sh
View GeoServer logs:
On host:
$ docker logs -f devdocker
Or inside container:
# tail -f /usr/local/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
Run tests:
# cd /workspace/geoserver/src
Run all tests (slow - 30+ minutes):
# mvn test
Run tests for specific module:
# mvn test -pl main
Run specific test class:
# mvn test -pl main -Dtest=GeoServerApplicationTest
Update your fork:
# cd /workspace/geoserver
# git checkout main
# git pull upstream main
# git push origin main
Work with specific GeoServer version:
List available versions:
# git tag -l | grep "^2\." | sort -V | tail -20
Checkout specific version:
# git checkout 2.28.2
Or create branch from version:
# git checkout -b my-feature-2.28.2 2.28.2
