abihf/valhalla repository overview

⁠Dockerfile for Valhalla

This Dockerfile⁠ provides an easy way to build and deploy Mapzen's Valhalla, an open-source routing engine, without configuring the full Chef install⁠.

Not ready to mess with Docker or Chef? Mapzen provides hosted versions of these services under the names Turn-by-Turn, Matrix, and Elevation. Sign up for a free developer key at https://mapzen.com/developers/⁠

Back to this Dockerfile: It defaults to using an OpenStreetMap extract of Trento, IT, but you can change this if you like, in the Dockerfile. Browse Mapzen's Metro Extracts service⁠ for other regions, and copy the URL for a OSM PBF-formatted extract.

To build the Docker image issue:

./build.sh

To run instead issue:

./run-valhalla.sh

⁠Tips for Running on a Mac

For easiest setup, use the Docker for Mac package, currently available for beta testing⁠.

Increase resources available to Docker to at least 4 CPU cores and 4Gb RAM:

If your container can't connect to github.com to checkout libraries, you may need to edit your /etc/resolve.conf. For example, set your Mac WiFi to use Google's public DNS servers⁠, as well as a local router:

sudo networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 192.168.1.254

⁠Good to have in future:

• A facility to load in a running container multiple OSM extracts.
