Projects and apps

A list of all current and relevant repositories under the map project umbrella. Each repository includes more detailed documentation.

hsl-map-publisher - the backend component of the stop poster generator app. Also includes the poster React app and poster parts as SVG files. Also the base ofhsl-timetable-container hosted by Digitransit team
hsl-map-publisher-ui - the frontend component of the stop poster generator app.
hsl-routemap-server - a spin-off project from the stop poster project for generating route maps. This is the server component.
hsl-map-generator-server - the server that generates map images with HSL's map style. Used for stop posters and station maps.
hsl-map-generator-ui - an UI for generating static map images. Essentially a frontend for hsl-map-generator-server and hsl-routemap-server
hsl-map-web-ui - also known as "kuljettajaohje", it's a relatively simple map app that shows all current HSL routes.
hsl-route-map-poc - a simple map app that shows all HSL's routes.
hsl-map-site - The application redirects from a stop URL to the route planner.
hsl-jore-postgis a repository containing build scripts for PostgreSQL database for storing Jore data
jore-graphql-import - the data importer for the JORE GraphQL API. Contains the schema for the PostgreSQL database as well as SQL functions and data import logic. It runs from a Docker container that automatically downloads the newest JORE export and imports it into the jore-graphql PostgreSQL database, overwriting the previous data.
jore-graphql - a repository containing the Dockerfile that builds the Postgraphile-powered JORE GraphQL API from hsl-jore-postgis.
jore-tileserver - Jore stops and routes from hsl-jore-postgis as vector tiles.
hsl-map-style - the Mapbox-compatible vector style for all HSL maps. Used in most other apps.
hsl-map-server - Tessera server that hosts different types of tiles (vector, raster). The server is currently hosted by the Reittiopas team, and this server is responsible for hosting map tiles for all background maps used by HSL.
OpenMapTiles - a library for generating vector tiles from OSM data.
osm2vectortiles - a deprecaded library for generating vector tiles from OSM data. OpenMapTiles is going to replace this, but still used until old maps are closed.
tilelive-hsl-ticket-sale - serializes ticket sales vector tiles to protobufs.
tilelive-hsl-parkandride - - serializes park & ride places vector tiles to protobufs.
tilelive-otp-citybikes - serializes city bike vector tiles to protobufs.
tilelive-otp-stops - serializes otp stops to protobufs.
tilelive-gl - a fork of another project called tilelive-gl. This was used until recently in the map-generator-server, and still in hsl-map-server. The main repo is unmaintained, Mapbox-gl-native should be used directly instead.
tilelive-geojson - Used in hsl-map-server to create vector tiles from GeoJSON files for custom layers.
orthotiles Occassionally used scripts and instructions to generate new orthoimagenary for HSL.

Unreleased projects

These projects are still being worked on and are not yet ready for primetime. Some of them could be discarded and the release is unsure.

transitlog-alert-proxy Proxy for reading transitlog (Reittiloki) alerts for hsl-map-web-ui
hsl-stop-info - a replacement for the "Stop tag page" using GatsbyJS and aiming to be a lot more useful.
map-reports - a tool for managing reports about OSM faults and validating OSM data. Unfinished and will be moved out of the Map project.
hsl-map-validator

Deprecated or unused projects

This is a list of deprecated or otherwise older or unused projects that were started by the Map project.

jore-geometry-matcher - this should be executed after running jore-graphql-import to smoothen out the routes and match them to map geometry. Currently integrated to jore-graphql-import repository
pymapmatch - forked helper module used in the jore-geometry-matcher.
hsl-ticket-zone-map - a very simple embeddable map that shows the new ticket zones that will come into effect in 2019. Superseded by the zones showing up in the journey planner (Digitransit).
tile-merge-stream - helper module. Not used as far as we know.
map-utils - Python map utils and a stop query in Javascript. Unused as far as we know.
hsl-map-deployer - deprecated repository for deploying projects into dev & prod servers. Contains the docker-compose and ngnix configs. This can be used for creating local dev environment.
tilelive-otp-routes - serializes otp routes to protobufs.
hsl-map-deployer Reverse proxy and deployer for hsl-map and jore- repositories. Deprecated after environment change.
