Adding a GeoTiffΒΆ
The GeoTIFF is a widely used geospatial raster data format. It is composed of a single file containing both the data and the georeferencing information (not to be confused with the .tiff/.tfw/.prj file triplet, which is considered a “world image” file in GeoServer). This section provides instructions to add and publish a GeoTIFF file.
Open the web browser and navigate to the GeoServer Welcome Page.
Select Add stores from the interface.
Select GeoTIFF - Tagged Image File Format with Geographic information from the set of available Raster Data Sources.

) in the Data Source Name field of the interface.Click on browse link in order to set the GeoTIFF location in the URL field.

(on Windows%TRAINING_ROOT%\data\user_data\aerial\13tde815295_200803_0x6000m_cl.tif
)Click Save.
