Hello again,
with the new GeoServer release 2.26.0, the Docker image is built on top
of the official tomcat base image for the first time. We now realized
that in the old approach (changed by
https://github.com/geoserver/docker/pull/45) "gdal-bin" was installed,
but "apt install gdal-bin" is currently missing in the new approach (so
in the 2.26.0 image).
In case your deployment depends on GDAL (for example by using extensions
that need it), things will probably fail. I attached a Dockerfile to
this mail that demonstrates a fix/workaround for this scenario.
I will soon start a discussion on
https://discourse.osgeo.org/c/geoserver regarding GDAL to address this
issue.
Best regards
Nils

Hi all,
last friday we merged a bigger change in the Docker Image repository:
https://github.com/geoserver/docker/pull/45
This changes the base image, so we now use the official tomcat docker
image as a base instead of installing tomcat ourselves. We succesfully
tested all the functionality that the GeoServer image provides.
Nonetheless - with the next GeoServer release (which also results in a
new docker image) - minor adjustments might be necessary in your
scenario.
Please note: The main change is the internal tomcat path. Previously
it was something like (containing the tomcat version)
"/opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.89". In future it will always be the same
generic path "/usr/local/tomcat/" (as provided by the tomcat base
image), which means: In case you use mounts to directories within the
tomcat path, you will have to adjust them!
The current versions of GeoServer (2.25.3/2.24.4) were still built
with the old approach, but all future releases will be built with the
new base image.
Please let us know here if you encounter unexpected problems.
Best regards
Nils
