KMZ files typically contain KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, which are a type of XML that describes geographic features and placemarks. GeoServer, as a server for serving geographic data, primarily supports vector data (points, lines, and polygon) stored in formats such as Shapefiles and GeoJSON. If your KMZ file contains satellite images, it's likely that they are in a raster format, such as JPEG or PNG, which is not directly supported by GeoServer.
To upload the KMZ file containing satellite images to GeoServer, you will need to convert the raster images into a format that GeoServer can understand, such as GeoTIFF or other supported formats listed in the following link: https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/raster/index.html
Once you have converted the satellite images into a supported format, you can either:
- Publish the raster data directly from GeoServer by adding a new layer
and selecting the raster format file.
- Import the raster data into a spatial database such as PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension, and then serve it through GeoServer as a WMS or WCS layer.
In the case of the second option, you will need to use a tool like ogr2ogr to import the raster data into the spatial database. Once the data is in the database, you can configure GeoServer to use the PostGIS layer as a data source and serve it as a WMS or WCS layer.
The exact steps to achieve this will depend on the tools and software that you are using, as well as the specifics of your data and requirements. However, the above steps should give you a general idea of what needs to be done to serve your KMZ file containing satellite images in GeoServer.
