No special guidance necessary, the installation and setup instructions describe publishing a geopackage - but the steps to publish a shape file are identical.
1. Setup a workspace (I recommend only one to start) 2. Setup a data store (in your case a shape file datastore) 3. Publish the layer contained in the shape file (provide a name / title / abstract, check the spatial reference system / bounds) 4. Verify the data looks okay in they layer preview, you can also try downloading GeoJSON if you like How big is your shape file? -- Jody Garnett On Mar 14, 2024 at 11:27:02 AM, Jim Rogers <jim.rog...@bogart.ai> wrote: > I am new to Geoserver and I have some boundary data that is stored as > shapefiles that I would like to serve out to others.
