This will build a docker image that runs mapproxy .
There are various ways to get the image onto your system:
The preferred way (but using most bandwidth for the initial image) is to get our docker trusted build like this:
docker pull kartoza/mapproxy
To build the image yourself do:
docker build -t kartoza/mapproxy git://github.com/kartoza/docker-mapproxy
To build using a local url instead of directly from github.
git clone git://github.com/kartoza/docker-mapproxy
docker build -t kartoza/mapproxy .
To run a mapproxy container do:
docker run --name "mapproxy" -p 8080:8080 -d -t kartoza/mapproxy
Typically you will want to mount the mapproxy volume, otherwise you won't be able to edit the configs:
mkdir mapproxy
docker run --name "mapproxy" -p 8080:8080 -d -t -v `pwd`/mapproxy:/mapproxy kartoza/mapproxy
The first time your run the container, mapproxy basic default configuration
files will be written into ./configuration. You should read the mapproxy documentation
on how to configure these files and create appropriate service definitions for
your WMS services. Then restart the container to activate your changes.
The cached wms tiles will be written to ./configuration/cache_data externally or any other path that is
defined by the mapproxy.yaml.
Note that the mapproxy containerised application will run as the user that
owns the /mapproxy folder. The UID:GID of the process will be 1000:10001. If you serve existing ./configuration folder, you need to set the folder permission with chown -R 1000:10001 ./configuration from this directory.
You can set up the services using the docker-compose. The docker-compose sets up the QGIS server container and links it to the mapproxy container and nginx for reverse proxy.
A index.html is provided in the web folder to preview the layers in mapproxy.
The mapproxy container can 'speaks' uwsgi protocol so you can also put nginx in front of it
to receive http request and translate it to uwsgi
(try the nginx docker container). However our sample configuration by default
make uwsgi uses http socket instead of socket parameter (uwsgi protocol). A sample configuration (via linked
containers) that will forward traffic into the uwsgi container, adding the appropriate
headers as needed is provided via docker-compose
Take a look at the docker-compose to look at linking two or more containers
Once the service is up and running you can connect to the default demo
mapproxy service by pointing QGIS' WMS client to the mapproxy service.
In the example below the nginx container is running on
localhost on port 8080.
http://localhost/mapproxy/service/?
