Docker image gs-stable-2.24.x does not start due to missing GeoDBDialect

Hi @hbruch

I'll take a look. If it is just a matter of missing unzip package then a rebuild of the images should fix it

[hbruch]

Thanks! I'm not sure, if the missing unzip is the cause. In the nightly stable build, it's already included, but to me it seems that the geofence-plugin misses a dependency(?). I see that the nightly images are built via hooks/build, but not with which plugins it is built, as this is a env var externally defined. Is the geofence-server plugin specified as additional plugin?

I managed to make it work. Here's what I did:

1. Cloned docker-geoserver repository.
2. Built a test image with the following parameters.

docker build -t geoserver:test-2.24.x \
--build-arg  GEOSERVER_WEBAPP_SRC=https://build.geoserver.org/geoserver/2.24.x/geoserver-2.24.x-latest-war.zip \
--build-arg PLUG_IN_URLS="https://build.geoserver.org/geoserver/2.24.x/ext-latest/geoserver-2.24-SNAPSHOT-geofence-server-plugin.zip" .

3. Ran the test image with the following parameters.
   Note: I added this parameter -Dgwc.context.suffix=gwc because when I accessed /geoserver, it redirected to geowebcache.

docker run -e EXTRA_GEOSERVER_OPTS='-Dgwc.context.suffix=gwc' --name gs -p 8080:8080 geoserver:test-2.24.x

4. Tested it on the browser.

The only plugins included by default are: monitor, controlflow and libjpegturbo: https://github.com/geosolutions-it/docker-geoserver/blob/master/hooks/build#L3

We were only able to reproduce your error if installing both the geofence AND the geofence-server plugin. That should be avoided you either install one or the other. Typically the geofence-server plugin only is installed in order to integrate geofence into geoserver. The other plugin is used only if you have a running external standalone geofence and you want geoserver to connect to it.
More info here: https://docs.geoserver.org/main/en/user/extensions/geofence-server/installing.html

Can you confirm you were trying to add both plugins at the same time?

The need to add the system variable "'-Dgwc.context.suffix=gwc" to the JAVA_OPTS is also covered by the documentation. Without that JAVA_OPT set you will have issues accessing the geoserver UI @david7378
