Geoserver of GeoTifs

We have a series of geotif files covering a specific area of land. If all tiffs are viewed at once they cover a large area and there are no gaps between them. If I register each file as layer in geoserver and t开发者_JAVA百科hen create a layer group then the map produced looks great an all works OK. However, the problem I have is that I have now been supplied with 500 tiff files which are to be registered and rendered in the same way. Is there any way to register a set of tiffs rather than having to go through and register each one?

You can use the ImageMosaic store to create a layer based on multiple tifs. Just enter the directory containing your collection of source tifs in the url parameter and geoserver will create a layer based on all tifs for you.

See the geoserver documentation for more information.
