Welcome to GeoServer 3

We are overjoyed to share the initial release of GeoServer 3 with our community, this is the final stretch of a long road, a year of development, and a lot of planning and support to make it all happen. Thanks to all the organizations and individuals supporting GeoServer 3.

GeoServer 3

Straightforward upgrade

Special care has been taken to ensure a seamless upgrade from GeoServer 2.28.x:

  1. Important: We have made no changes to the GeoServer Data Directory.

  2. A few modules have migrated from core to extensions:

    The pure Java H2 database is no longer provided.

  3. The log file location setting is now managed using the GEOSERVER_LOG_LOCATION application property.

  4. The NetCDF index support has been simplified and is now self-contained. With this improvement, NetCDF no longer needs a database or local .idx files to operate.

    Instructions are provided for how to clean up these now unused files.

  5. The new OIDC plugin is now available as a full extension.

    This plugin takes over the responsibilities of the previously available Keycloak and OAuth2 plugins. For guidance on upgrading please see the detailed migration guide.

Please see the upgrade instructions for details.

Thanks to the GeoServer 3 Sponsors

GeoServer 3 would not exist without the organizations and individuals who supported the GeoServer 3 crowdfunding campaign. Their sponsorship made this work possible. We also want to share a final message to reflect over the campaign, its results, and thank again everyone that participate.

GeoServer 3 is supported by the following organisations:


Individual donations: Abhijit Gujar, Hennessy Becerra, Ivana Ivanova, John Bryant, Jason Horning, Jose Macchi, Peter Smythe, Sajjadul Islam, Sebastiano Meier, Stefan Overkamp.

New Context-Driven User Experience

GeoServer 3 features a new “context-driven” user experience, which we really hope you enjoy.

  • Search: Using the left hand side search field to find information. Autocomplete results are shown as you type, and results are listed in a tree which can be navigated below.

    User Interface Search

  • Context: Clicking on a search item establishes the context which is shown as breadcrumbs along the top of the page. A drop-down context menu provides quick access to actions that can be performed.

    User Interface Context Menu

  • Page: Page content adjusts to the current context. The welcome page adjusts to showing the layer tile and description, along with preview links, sample data downloads, metadata and data links configured.

    A really nice addition is the ability to filter the output formats to quickly find the link you are looking for.

    User Interface Welcome Layer Page

  • Feedback: Admins are provided additional context-menu commands, and per-layer feedback and shortcuts, making the application easier and faster to use.

    User Interface Feedback

  • Menu: The menu bar at the top of the page provides login on the right hand side, and access to the familiar GeoServer top-level navigation menus.

    User Interface Top Level Menus

For more information see the user guide.

Thanks to Stefano Bovio (GeoSolutions), Jody Garnett (GeoCat), and others for this major improvement.

New User Interface Responsive Design Theme

GeoServer now provides a responsive-design theme:

  • Navigation: Navigation is reduced to a hamburger menu when using a narrow width display.

    Responsive Theme: Menus

  • Forms: Forms have adopted a two-column layout adapting to page width.

    Responsive Theme: Form two-column layerout

  • Dark Mode: The login menu includes a much requested dark mode setting.

    Responsive Theme: Dark mode

Thanks to Stefano Bovio (GeoSolutions) for leading this frequently requested improvement, the entire GeoServer 3 team for implementing and checking, and testers at AfriGIS and GeoCat for verifying and updating screenshots.

New Layer Preview

A new full-screen layer preview is provided using the latest OpenLayers library.

New full screen layer preview

Thanks to Stefano Bovio (GeoSolutions) for the welcome improvement.

Updated Environment

GeoServer 3 requires Tomcat 11.0.x and Jetty 12.1 application servers. We are really pleased with this accomplishment after completing our transition to Spring Framework 7 and Jakarta EE Servlet API 6.1.

We have been extensively testing GeoServer 3 with Java 17 and Java 21, maintaining the same Java runtime baseline as GeoServer 2.28.x. Java 25 is subject to automated testing, but we are going to hold off recommending it until the user community has had an opportunity to try it out and report back.

If you are wondering about the compatibility between the Java web stack and GeoServer, here is a table showing the various supported options:

GeoServer Java Tomcat Jetty Java EE Jakarta EE
GeoServer 3.0 17, 21 Tomcat 11.0.x Jetty 12.1   Servlet API 6.1
Not supported   Tomcat 10.1.x Jetty 12.0   Servlet API 6.0
Not supported   Tomcat 10.0.x Jetty 11.0   Servlet API 5.0
GeoServer 2.28.x 17, 21 Tomcat 9.x   Servlet API 4  
GeoServer 2.28.x 17, 21   Jetty 9.4 Servlet API 3.1  

For more information see container considerations.

Thanks to the entire GeoServer 3 team and crowdfunding campaign for this major accomplishment, representing the completion of Milestone 3.

OAuth2 OpenID Connect Extension

The new OAuth2 OpenID Connect Security Integration (OIDC) plugin is now an official extension.

The transition to Spring Security 7 was one of the big tasks accomplished for GeoServer 3. This work includes the creation of a new OIDC plugin. The new plugin has taken over the responsibilities of previously available Keycloak and OAuth2 plugins.

For guidance on upgrading please see the detailed migration guide.

Thanks to Alessio Fabiani and others for this important improvement. Special thanks to everyone who provided feedback and testing during the 3.0-RC timeframe, your success has allowing this module to graduate to full extension for 3.0.0 release.

New Documentation

The long-awaited transition to Markdown documentation has finally arrived. Welcome to our new User Manual. The GeoServer 2.x documentation is available using the version switcher at the top of the page.

The new user manual

Please help out by fixing any remaining small issues or log an issue for Peter to address. The documentation guide has been updated with Markdown guidance complete with visual examples.

Thanks to Peter Smythe (AfriGIS) and Jody Garnett (GeoCat) for working on this activity which ended up being an incredible amount of work.

Pending Community Modules

The documentation contains a new heading for pending community modules that are seeking public use and support in order to graduate to an extension.

A pending community been declared ready for feedback by the development team responsible and is available for general download alongside each release. The user manual indicates what specific support is needed for the module to be ready for production as a full extension.

Release notes: ( 3.0.0 | 3.0-RC )

Read More

GeoServer 3 is here, from crowdfunding to release

GeoServer 3.0 is now generally available. This post is not a feature announcement, those have been written, and the release notes cover the details. This is something we get to do less often: closing the loop on a promise. The modernisation work the community funded is finished and shipping, and we want to account for what that funding set out to achieve and what it delivered.

The result is a platform brought back onto a current, supported foundation. The work reached across the wider ecosystem rather than GeoServer alone, and the scope the campaign promised has been covered.

The bet the community made

The case for GeoServer 3 was clear. Spring 5 was reaching the end of security support, and staying on a supported, modern Java platform meant moving to JDK 17. That upgrade was the trigger for much of what followed, because it could not happen in isolation: it cascaded into Spring 7, Jakarta, modern servlet containers, and updated libraries across the stack, and the ageing image-processing components had to be replaced along the way. None of this is the kind of work that wins a feature vote, yet all of it keeps GeoServer current and dependable for the years ahead. Our goal was to take this foundational work directly, in one coordinated effort across the whole ecosystem, rather than letting it pile up.

Funding it required a structure built on trust. The financial target was 550,000 €. Camptocamp, GeoCat, and GeoSolutions each contributed 50,000 €, and the consortium provided coordination, delivery capacity, and co-funding to move the project forward. That left a community funding goal of 400,000 €, pledged by sponsors, community members, and individual donors during a commitment phase, with funds collected only once the target was reached, so the work could begin fully funded rather than at risk of stalling partway. In May 2025 the campaign passed its goal, and the work began fully funded. GeoServer 3.0 is the moment it pays out.

What the funding delivered

GeoServer 3 set out to modernise the platform from the foundation up, and that is what this release delivers. The work was a coordinated programme rather than a single change, where a handful of major upgrades each set off a chain of smaller, necessary changes across the codebase. The items below are the headline changes that triggered much of the surrounding effort.

A modern Java foundation. The GeoServer ecosystem now runs on JDK 17 and Spring 7, the central upgrade that drove the rest of the work and brings GeoServer back onto a current, supported stack. That move cascaded into Jakarta, modern servlet containers, and a wide set of supporting libraries that all had to be carried forward together. The project worked through the dependency tree end to end, so the platform sits on a clean, maintainable base.

Modern raster processing. ImageN has replaced the legacy image-processing engine, putting raster processing on a modern foundation that is far easier to maintain going forward.

Reinforced security. Security and vulnerability management have been strengthened throughout, putting GeoServer on a stronger footing for the kinds of compliance and assurance its users increasingly need.

A refreshed administration experience and documentation. The administration interface has been rebuilt with a new context-driven design, and the documentation has been refreshed and updated alongside it.

Just as importantly, this was never only about GeoServer. The funded work carried across the ecosystem, and 3.0 ships together with GeoTools and GeoWebCache, with the integration work for GeoServer Cloud following on, making GeoServer well suited to cloud-native and containerised deployments. For most deployments the upgrade from 2.28.x is straightforward, with no changes required to the data directory. The migration guide provides the necessary instructions for the rest. The release candidate phase let organisations prove all of this in their own environments, and that feedback shaped the final release.

All of this scope was delivered and is available now in the GeoServer 3.0 release.

Thank you

GeoServer is critical infrastructure for countless organisations, and keeping a platform like that healthy depends on funding the unglamorous foundational work that rarely attracts attention on its own. That a community came together to back this effort, and saw it through to a successful delivery, is a meaningful example of how open source can sustain itself when its users choose to invest in it.

That investment had a lot of people behind it. Thank you to every organisation that pledged, every individual who donated, and everyone who tested, reported, reviewed, and contributed code: this release exists because you decided it should. Thank you also to the consortium teams at Camptocamp, GeoCat, and GeoSolutions, who carried it from a funding target to a shipped release.

GeoServer 3 is the foundation for everything the project does next. It is here because the community built it together.

GeoServer 3 is supported by the following organisations:


Individual donations: Abhijit Gujar, Hennessy Becerra, Ivana Ivanova, John Bryant, Jason Horning, Jose Macchi, Peter Smythe, Sajjadul Islam, Sebastiano Meier, Stefan Overkamp.
