Example MVT server and map for pedagogical purposes

Python Setup

The tile server requires a database connection, so set up a virtual environment and then install the psycopg2 driver using pip.

cd minimal-mvt
virtualenv --python python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Edit minimal-mvt.py and the TABLE and DATABASE constants:

TABLE = {
    'table':'nyc_streets',
    'srid':'26918',
    'geomColumn':'geom',
    'attrColumns':'gid, name, type'
    }  

DATABASE = {
    'user':'pramsey',
    'password':'password',
    'host':'localhost',
    'port':'5432',
    'database':'nyc'
    }
