okieoth/mod_tile repository overview

⁠Purpose

This is a simple docker-compose setup for a mapmik and mod_tile based OSM tile server.

⁠Usage

To start the servers simply run ./bin/start.sh. The similar stop script shut down the stack.

By default the tile server exposes its port 80 to the host port 9000. After a successful start the function can be tested in a browser call the following URL http://LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS:9000/tile_test/.

After the very first start the tile server setup doesn't contain any data.

To delete aready rendered tiles it's fine to remove the the content of the host-mounted tile folder.

sudo rm -rf ./volumes/tiles/ajt

To delete the current database it's enough to remove the the host mounted database directory.

sudo rm -rf ./volumes/db

The start script takes care that missing directories are created before the docker stack is started.

⁠Import data

To import the data is there an example script in the bin folder. I expects the berlin-latest.osm.pbf file into the import folder. If other data should be imported, download them from http://download.geofabrik.de/, place them into the import folder and add a seperate import script.

⁠Steps to import data

1. download the desired data from http://download.geofabrik.de/, f.e. http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin-latest.osm.pbf
2. save it into the import folder
3. start the tile server stack ./bin/start.sh
4. expected the import script points to the right import file - currently berlin, call ./bin/importData.sh
5. restart renderd in the tile server to renew the database connections ./bin/restartRenderd.sh
