Production

The following operations are required to setup GeoServer enterprise for use in a production environment:

• Changing the default admin password
• Changing the master password
• Set Java startup options
• Configure the Marlin renderer
• Configure WPS permissions
• Disable deprecated WPS processes
• Configure GEOSERVER_DATA_DIRECTORY to point to an external folder.
• Installing and configuring the Control Flow extension
• Configure disk quota for tile storage
• Set production logging levels
• Set WMS memory use limits

GetCat recommends the following best practices:

• Store geospatial data files in their own folder (outside the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIRECTORY)
• Ensure PostGIS tables have a spatial index
• Ensure GeoTIFF layers have internal tiling and overview defined
• Use the libjpeg-turbo library
