GWC S3 BlobStore plugin

This plugin supports the use of the AWS Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) as storage medium for GeoWebCache settings.

Installing the S3 BlobStore plugin

  1. Download the extension from the nightly GeoServer community module builds.

    Warning

    Make sure to match the version of the extension to the version of the GeoServer instance!

  2. Extract the contents of the archive into the WEB-INF/lib directory of the GeoServer installation.

Configuring the S3 BlobStore plugin

Once the plugin has been installed, one or more S3 BlobStores may be configured through BlobStores. Afterwards, cached layers can be explicitely assigned to it or one blobstore could be marked as ‘default’ to use it for all unassigned layers.
