Alessio-
Thank you very much. This is definitely what I am after. I just have a couple
of points that maybe you can clarify for me:
1. It appears that the properties in geoserver-environment.properties
can only be applied to configuration in data_dir/workspaces such as
datastore.xml and coveragestore.xml files, but not other configuration like
data_dir/logging.xml, data_dir/gwc/geowebcache.xml, or
data_dir/security/usergroup/default/users.xml – is this correct?
2. It also looks like according to the comment in the source code for
GeoServerEnvironment.java that System variables should also work, however
neither setting them as System Environment variables or setting them in
JAVA_OPTS seemed to work – only placing the geoserver-environment.properties in
the data directory worked.
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/0054d601f5283fbde087bb253286e9512185d998/src/platform/src/main/java/org/geoserver/platform/GeoServerEnvironment.java#L153
Ideally I would like to be able to externalize the data directory using the env
var GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR and also any property contained within config files
found in the data directory, allowing for the same war file to be deployed
across environments.
Thanks
-Tim

directory files?
Hi Tim,
during the work for the Backup & Restore plugin for GeoServer, we had the
chance to implement also the possibility for GeoServer of externalize catalog
parameters into a ".properties" file placed on the GeoServer Data Directory.
Hopefully this may help you.
Some more details and a small example on how to use it can be found here
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/backuprestore/configtemplate.html
Please, notice that the documentation is a bit misleading. You won't need to
install also the Backup & Restore plugin, this functionality is already
available on GeoServer.
Let me know how it goes and if you need further details/help on this.
Cheers,
Alessio Fabiani.
Best Regards,
Alessio Fabiani.
