docker-mapproxy

A Dockerfile for MapProxy.

MapProxy is run in uWSGI, which is configured to use the "uwsgi" protocol on port 5000. Thus, in most cases, you will want to use NGINX as a frontend. See the ngx_http_uwsgi_module documentation.

Build image

docker build -t mapproxy .

Run image

Run MapProxy with the test configuration:

docker run -it --name mapproxy mapproxy

Run MapProxy with a specific MapProxy configuration file:

docker run -it --name mapproxy -v $(pwd)/mapproxy.yaml:/mapproxy/mapproxy.yaml:ro mapproxy

Publish the container's port (5000):

docker run -it --name mapproxy -p 8080:5000 mapproxy

Use a Docker volume for MapProxy's data cache:

docker run -it --name mapproxy -v mapproxy-cache:/mapproxy/cache_data mapproxy

Execute mapproxy-seed

Execute mapproxy-seed:

docker run -it mapproxy mapproxy-seed -h

Execute mapproxy-seed with specific MapProxy and seed configuration files:

docker run -it -v $(pwd):/mapproxy mapproxy mapproxy-seed -f /mapproxy/mapproxy.yaml -s /mapproxy/seed.yaml

The above command assumes that the current directory ($(pwd)) includes both a MapProxy configuration file, mapproxy.yaml, and a seed configuration file, seed.yaml.

Note: you can use the following command to create a "base" MapProxy config in the current directory:

docker run -it -v $(pwd):/mapproxy mapproxy mapproxy-util create -t base-config /mapproxy

This will create mapproxy.yaml, seed.yaml, full_example.yaml and full_seed_example.yaml files in your current directory.

Environment variables

A number of environment variables can be set to control the execution of uWSGI:

• PROCESSES: spawn the specified number of worker processes
• UID: setuid to the specified uid
• GID: setgid to the specified gid

For example:

docker run -it --name mapproxy -e PROCESSES=4 -e UID=1000 -e GID=1000 mapproxy
