Mapzen Vector Tile Service

Installation

Requirements:

TileStache
PostGIS
An OpenStreetMap database created by osm2pgsql
Natural Earth tables from contents of data/.

#Installation Guide (tested under Ubuntu 14.04)

The installation is performed in three steps.

1. Loading data (Make ready for using vector tiles)

Install postgres

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib postgis postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1

You can find a more detailed description here.

Create database and extensions

# switch to user postgres
sudo -i -u postgres

# create new database
createdb gis

# create extensions
psql -d gis -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis; CREATE EXTENSION hstore;'

# check the results
psql -d gis
\conninfo

# logout from db
\q

# logout user postgres
exit

Install osm2pgsql

sudo apt-get install osm2pgsql

Download data

Here we use data from geofabrik, but you can use other *.pbf files.

# switch to new data path
cd /path/to/your/osm/data
# download data
wget http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/austria-latest.osm.pbf

Add data to the database

Start osm2pgsql in your data folder. Before you start the osm2pgsql script you might need to check your postgresql user rights (pg_hba.conf)

osm2pgsql --create --cache-strategy sparse -C 750 -U postgres -S osm2pgsql.style.txt -d gis -k austria-latest.osm.pbf

2. PREPARE DATA

Download mapzen/vector-datasource:

git clone https://github.com/mapzen/vector-datasource.git

Prepare Database

Download the file at https://gist.github.com/rmarianski/491e50f3dd7159ebdf23 and drop it in the ../vector-datasource/data/ folder as gist.sh, or just type...

# change to folder
cd vector-datasource/data
# download file
wget -O gist.sh https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rmarianski/491e50f3dd7159ebdf23/raw/c40439e9f5761d4f5ad0846a334a49ff1d6024a2/gistfile1.txt

Open the file gist.sh and change database options accordingly (leave out -h host when using a local machine):

# database options
export PGPASSWORD=password
PGOPTS="-d database -h host -U user"

then run the gist.sh script:

# make sript executable
chmod +x gist.sh
# execute the script
./gist.sh

3. CREATE VECTOR TILES

Download TileStache

git clone https://github.com/mapzen/TileStache.git

# Check out to integration-1 fork for serving .mapbox vectortiles

git fetch --all
git checkout integration-1
