⁠Docker images for whoots-js

Pre-built Docker images for whoots-js⁠ and its Slippy Map Tiles -> WMS translation proxy.

Use Case

• you have an application working with Slippy Map⁠ tiles e.g. robosat⁠
• you have a raster tile WMS endpoint and want to translate Slippy Map tiles to WMS on the fly, e.g. this WMS endpoint for aerial imagery⁠

This Docker image provides a transparent translation proxy from Slippy Map to WMS on the fly.

For configuration check the whoots-js⁠ documentation and server; and see our Dockerfile⁠ where we patch it on the fly for our use-cases.

⁠Usage

Run via

docker run -p 5000:8080 danieljh/whoots

Now make Slippy Map requests against this proxy at localhost:5000 and point it to the WMS endpoint

http http://localhost:5000/tms/17/69500/44515/by_dop80c/https://geoservices.bayern.de/wms/v2/ogc_dop80_oa.cgi --follow --output tile.jpg

With robosat

rs download --ext jpg --rate 10 'http://localhost:5000/tms/{z}/{x}/{y}/by_dop80c/https://geoservices.bayern.de/wms/v2/ogc_dop80_oa.cgi' bounds.tiles tiles

Note: if you run the downloader in a docker container, too, you have to pass --network=host for localhost to be accessible.

⁠Building

docker build -r danieljh/whoots .
