I built a GeoServer with AWS App Runner and Amazon ECR. 🎉

The following is a detailed explanation.

Repository creation
Image registration
Deployment

Repository creation

First, here is how to create a repository in Amazon ECR.

Click AWS Management Console → Elastic Container Registry.

Click on "Create Repository."

Configure general settings and details → Click on "Create Repository."
In this case, we set it as Public.

You can see the repository has been created.

This completes the repository creations!

Image Registration

The next step is to register the image with Amazon ECR.

Select repository → Click "Show push command."

Copy the command as it appears.

Execute the command with AWS CLI to push the image to the repository.
In this case, we used the GeoServer Docker image "kartoza/geoserver."

aws ecr-public get-login-password --region us-east-1 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin public.ecr.aws/xxxxx

docker tag kartoza/geoserver:latest public.ecr.aws/xxxxx/sample:latest

docker push public.ecr.aws/xxxxx/sample:latest

After the push is complete, click on the target repository.

You will see that the image has been registered.

That completes the registration of the image!

Deployment

Finally, how to deploy with AWS App Runner.

Click AWS Management Console → AWS App Runner.

Click on "Create App Runner Service."

Configure source and deploy settings → Click "Next."
This time, specify the image configured in ECR Public.

Configure service settings → Click "Next.
The default values for optional memory and CPU are low, so increase them to the range where GeoServer can run. Other default values are used.

Click "Create and Deploy.

Wait for a while, and then the environment construction will be completed.
The URL is displayed in detail, so add "/geoserver" and access it with a browser.
