In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps to install OpenMAINT and GeoServer on Ubuntu server. The installation process includes setting up Java 17, PostgreSQL 12, GeoServer, and finally, OpenMAINT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-requisites<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before we start, we need to ensure that the system is updated and all the necessary dependencies are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Update Your System<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start by updating the apt repository to ensure you have the latest packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get update -y\nsudo apt-get upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once the system is updated, install the unzip utility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install unzip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Install Java <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
openMAINT requires Java <\/strong>for proper functionality. Let\u2019s install it and verify the installation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk\njava -version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Install PostgreSQL 12<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
openMAINT requires PostgreSQL 12<\/strong> to store its data. However, PostgreSQL 12 is not available by default on Ubuntu 20.04, so we need to add the PostgreSQL repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Import the PostgreSQL Repository Key<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget --quiet -O - https:\/\/www.postgresql.org\/media\/keys\/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the PostgreSQL Repository<\/p>\n\n\n\n
echo \"deb http:\/\/apt.postgresql.org\/pub\/repos\/apt\/ $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/postgresql-pgdg.list > \/dev\/null\n\nsudo apt-get update<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Install PostgreSQL 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get install postgresql-12<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Install PostGIS for GeoSpatial Data<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install postgresql-12-postgis-3 libpostgis-java<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Configure PostgreSQL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We need to configure PostgreSQL by changing the superuser password. Set a password for the postgres user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo passwd postgres<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the postgres user to the sudo group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo usermod -aG sudo postgres<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Log into PostgreSQL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo -u postgres psql template1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Change the postgres user password:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'PSSWD';\nReplace 'PSSWD' with your preferred password.\nExit the PostgreSQL console:\n\\q<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Install GeoServer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
GeoServer<\/a> is required to provide map and spatial data services for openMAINT.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a geoserver user and add it to the sudo group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo adduser geoserver\nsudo usermod -aG sudo geoserver\nsudo su - geoserver<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Download GeoServer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget https:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/geoserver\/files\/GeoServer\/2.21.0\/geoserver-2.21.0-bin.zip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Extract the GeoServer zip file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
unzip -d \/home\/geoserver\/server geoserver-2.21.0-bin.zip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Edit the GeoServer port configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nano \/home\/geoserver\/server\/start.ini<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In the start.ini file, change the line and Save the file:
jetty.http.port=8082<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add GeoServer as a service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo nano \/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/geoserver.service<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the following configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Unit]\nDescription=GeoServer Service\nAfter=network.target\n\n[Service]\nType=simple\nUser=root\nEnvironment=\"GEOSERVER_HOME=\/home\/geoserver\/server\"\nExecStart=\/home\/geoserver\/server\/bin\/startup.sh\nExecStop=\/home\/geoserver\/server\/bin\/shutdown.sh\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Reload systemd and enable GeoServer to start on boot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl daemon-reload\nsudo systemctl enable --now geoserver<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now GeoServer should be running, and you can access it via http:\/\/YOUR-IP:8082\/geoserver using the default credentials: admin \/ geoserver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Install OpenMAINT 2.3<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Finally, let\u2019s install OpenMAINT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create an openmaint user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo adduser openmaint\nsudo usermod -aG sudo openmaint\nsudo su - openmaint<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Download openMAINT 2.3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget https:\/\/downloads.sourceforge.net\/project\/openmaint\/2.3\/openmaint-2.3-3.4.1-d.war<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Run the installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
java -jar .\/openmaint-2.3-3.4.1-d.war install<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
During the installation process, you will be prompted for several configurations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
