[mapserver-users] Gallery: running mapserver in docker on kubernetes

[Wouter Visscher]

Hi all,

I'm working for the Dutch NSDI www.pdok.nl, where we have around 200
datasets ranging from the larger ones like address, buildings, cadastral
parcels and smaller ones like hikingtrails, natura2000, and so on. Our
platform is used a lot in the Netherlands, both by the public and private
sector, last year we hit 12 billion requests. To be able to handle that
amount of traffic we are now in a transition, moving from a private cloud
solution to the public cloud. With this change, we needed to refactor our
software stack.

Through some experimentation, and on the job 'training' we are now running
the following setup:
A minio.io (S3) blobstore, containing geopackages with the vector data and
geotiff's for the rasters.
Our mapserver configurations connects to these files with /vsicurl/. Our
mapservers are in docker containers that we run on kubernetes.
With this setup we are able to create a scalable infrastructure from which
we can push WMS/WFS/WMTS interfaces to the web.

If people are interested in how we deploy our mapserver software stacks I
would be happy to share our k8s deployment setup/configurations.
