GeoServer is updating our communication channels!

We know people do not like signing up for mailing lists, Twitter has been Xed out, and it is time to move on.

GeoServer User Forum

Welcome to the GeoServer User forum:

  • This forum is open to the public, we are pleased to meet you and hope you enjoy using GeoServer.
  • Hosted by Open Source Geospatial Foundation
  • All project communication including this forum are subject to our code of conduct
  • This is one of many options for community support and communication.

Sign in

Taking part is easy (sign-in with credentials you already have):

  1. Login to discourse.osgeo.org:

    • Login “with LDAP” to use your OSGeo UserID (also used for other osgeo services).

      The button appears greyed out, but this is only poor styling choice. The button is enabled and works.

    • Use “Log in with GitHub” to use GitHub credentials.

    • More options are added over time.

    Discourse Login

  2. You may also use “Sign Up” if you want to create an account just for use with the Forum.
