Using the VirtualBox Image¶
The VirtualBox image package provides the same content of the Linux ISO already installed on a 32-bit virtual machine.
Note
The installation and the management of Oracle VirtualBox is outside the scope of this training.
The virtual machine is configured to use:
- 1 Core
- 3Gb RAM
- 20Gb hard disk space
If possible we suggest to increase this resources to:
- 2 Cores
- 4Gb RAM
- 20Gb hard disk space
The credentials are the same as the Linux ISO:
- username: geosolutions
- password: Geos
Verify Everything Works Correctly¶
Open Firefox and click on the first GeoServer bookmark
- The GeoServer administration page should load.
Note
On low spec hosts GeoServer can take up to 5 minutes to start up.
Click on “Layer Preview”, search for Boulder and, for example, open the layer “BoulderCityLimits” with OpenLayers:
- An interactive map of the current layer should open in a new tab.
Open pgAdmin and doubleclick on the “postgres” server.
- A list of databases should open.
