GeoNode Cloud

GeoNode Cloud is an advanced implementation of the GeoNode platform in the cloud, focused on maximizing the use of native or adapted technologies for cloud environments. This solution is designed to be deployed on Kubernetes, which facilitates its scalability, management and resilience. GeoNode Cloud incorporates the GeoServer Cloud project, which provides robust support for the publication, editing and management of geospatial data, thus reinforcing its purpose of offering a modern and efficient infrastructure for the management of geospatial information in the cloud. With GeoNode Cloud, organizations can benefit from greater flexibility, reduced operational costs, and seamless integration with other cloud-native tools and services.

Project Structure

The project structure for deploying GeoNode Cloud and GeoServer Cloud on Kubernetes is organized into key directories that contain the manifests required to configure and operate the applications. Within the following repository is the project that contains all the manifests that will be used to perform the deployment.

Main Directories

• gn-cloud
• gs-cloud
• configs
• database

Architecture & Technology

The solution architecture is divided into the following components:

• Geonode Cloud Core
• GeoNode Cloud Mapstore Client
• Rabbitmq
• GeoServer Cloud
• Postgres with PostGis extension
• Nginx
• Flower

Specifically Geonode Cloud Core contains the following main technological components for its operation:

• Django Framework
• Memcached
• Geonode Import
• pyCSW
• Celery
• Geoserver App Django - ACL Capability

The architecture is based on the use of microservices, where it is planned to incorporate new microservices that today are in the monolithic component of Django.

Distribution and deployment

Docker images for all the services are available on DockerHub, under the KAN Territory & IT organization.

You can find production-suitable deployment files for docker-compose and podman under the docs/deploy folder.

Deployment

For the deployment of Geonode Cloud we can deploy it on different Kubernete platforms, here are the details of the deployment on MickoK8S

Deployment on MicroK8S

Requisites

• MicroK8S.
  • Ingress module.
  • DNS module.
  • Cert-manager module.

Use snap to install microk8s

sudo snap install microk8s --classic

Enable necesary micro8s modules

microk8s enable ingress
microk8s enable cert-manager

Create certmanager config to enable letsencrypt using your own email

microk8s kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
---
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt
spec:
  acme:
    email: YOUREMAIL@DOMAIN.com
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    privateKeySecretRef:
      # Secret resource that will be used to store the account's private key.
      name: letsencrypt-account-key
    # Add a single challenge solver, HTTP01 using nginx
    solvers:
    - http01:
        ingress:
          class: public
EOF
