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.

You can setup 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 'speaks' uwsgi so you need to put nginx in front of it (try the nginx docker container). 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/?
