How to pre-configure GeoServer in Docker image build?
I am using GeoServer 2.16.0 docker image build by myself based on kartoza’s dockerfile. The only pre-configuration is done via environment files, e.g. geoserver.env: I would like to configure more, e.g. workspaces, stores, but cannot find any according documentation.

How to orchestrate a GeoServer with Docker and fig?
Our service is called ‘db’ and we mount a directory into the container as /var/lib/postgresql – our database cluster will be initialised there, and we define environment variables which will be used to set up a postgres user. By default our PostGIS image initialises a database called ‘gis’ with the postgis extensions installed into it.
Where does the Geoserver write its configuration data?
This mounts a directory from the host into /opt/geoserver/data_dir – which is the location geoserver will write its configuration data to. Additionally we specify a dependency on the db container – fig will ensure the db service gets spun up before the geoserver container.
What does it mean to run an application in Docker?
