Welcome

This repository contains the "Kaufmich Light" map style

See here for instructions to create a custom map style, from a template (OSM Bright)

Getting started

Ensure you have a working tile server before starting

Get everything needed

Run these commands on the frontend server

# cd /usr/local/share/maps/style
# rm master.zip
# wget https://github.com/tomedme/km-style/archive/master.zip
# unzip master.zip
# cd km-style-master
# chmod +x extras/*.sh
# ./extras/get-shapes.sh

Retrieve & load the full data into the database

you may need to edit the bounding box in get-full-data.sh
the import will take a long time (12 hours or more) - use screen!

# cd extras/
# ./get-full-data.sh
# mv europe-merged.osm.pbf ~/tile-server-master/
# cd ~/tile-server-master/
# ./3_load-data.sh europe-merged.osm.pbf

After the data is fully imported, create the indexes

# cd /usr/local/share/maps/style/km-style-master/extras/
# sudo -u postgres psql -d gis < indexes.sql

Compile the stylesheet

If the database and frontend are on the same server, use "project-local.mml", otherwise edit the database connection settings in "project-remote.mml"

# carto project-{local|remote}.mml > kaufmich.xml

Update /usr/local/etc/renderd.cnf - add this section at the bottom:

[kaufmich]
URI=/km_tiles/
TILEDIR=/var/lib/mod_tile
XML=/usr/local/share/maps/style/km-style-master/kaufmich.xml
HOST=localhost
TILESIZE=256

Restart renderd

# /etc/init.d/renderd restart

Use the render.php script to generate the tile numbers for render.sh

you can get the coordinates from the OpenStreetMap "Export" functionality
change the "N" parameter to the number of cores you have access to

# cd /usr/local/share/maps/style/km-style-master/extras/
# php render.php 8.2102,47.2750,8.8570,47.5274

Render all the tiles needed

Add the output from render.php into render.sh, then run the script

this will take some time (a few hours or more) - use screen!

# ./render.sh

Final steps

Once rendering has finished, you need to convert the metatiles to png images

# cd ~/
# rm master.zip
# wget https://github.com/tomedme/meta2tile/archive/master.zip
# unzip meta2tile-master.zip
# cd meta2tile-master/
# make

Create the directory that will contain the png files

# cd ~/
# mkdir tiles

Convert the metatiles

# ~/meta2tile-master/meta2tile /var/lib/mod_tile/kaufmich ~/tiles

Final step is to transfer the png files to the image store on the cluster
