Piano-Forte

A world map in two flavours:

Piano, when you need a very light background to put data on top of if
Forte, when you need a generic purpose map

And three languages: French, English, Arabic.

Forte

Piano

Local installation

Create a pianoforte PSQL database:

sudo -u postgres createdb pianoforte -O youruser

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/tilery/pianoforte

Compile the world boundaries:

make boundary

Download the PBF from Geofabrik:

make download

Note: you can use another area by setting the PBF env var to the Geofabrik relative path (default is: africa/egypt-latest.osm.pbf).

Import the PBF and the boundaries into the database:

make import

Copy the localconfig sample, and change the db configuration inside:

cp localconfig.js.sample localconfig.js

Run kosmtik with forte:

kosmtik serve forte.yml

Or with piano:

kosmtik serve piano.yml

Production deployment

Overview

tiles are generated by the classic mod_tile/Mapnik stack
Mapnik XML files are distributed in dist/ folder in this repository
OSM data is managed by Imposm
custom data (including boundaries, country labels, main city labels) is managed by mae-boundaries

Dependencies

postgresql
postgis
gdal
apache2
imposm
mod-tile (see osmadmins/ppa for Ubuntu)

Instructions

create a database with postgis extension:

  createdb tilery
  psql tilery -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis"

Note: the database is named tilery to follow conventions in the Mapnik XML generated in the dist/ of the project, see below.

grab Mapnik XML, fonts, icons, Imposm mapping…:

  git clone https://github.com/tilery/pianoforte /path/to/pianoforte --depth 1

download OSM data

  wget https://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf

download coastline data

  wget https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/download/simplified-land-polygons-complete-3857.zip

  wget https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/download/land-polygons-split-3857.zip
  unzip land-polygons-split-3857.zip

import OSM data

  imposm import -diff -config /path/to/imposm.conf -read /path/to/planet-latest.osm.pbf -overwritecache -write -deployproduction

download and import boundary data

  wget http://nuage.yohanboniface.me/boundary.json
  ogr2ogr --config PG_USE_COPY YES -lco GEOMETRY_NAME=geometry -lco DROP_TABLE=IF_EXISTS -f PGDump boundary.sql /path/to/boundary.json -sql 'SELECT name,"name:en","name:fr","name:ar","name:es","name:de","name:ru",iso FROM boundary' -nln itl_boundary

  psql -d tilery --file /path/to/city.sql

download disputed areas

  wget http://nuage.yohanboniface.me/disputed.json -O data/disputed.json

create custom DB indexes

  psql -d tilery -c "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_road_label ON osm_roads USING GIST(geometry) WHERE name!='' OR ref!=''"
  psql -d tilery -c "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_boundary_low ON osm_admin USING GIST(geometry) WHERE admin_level IN (3, 4)"

in renderd configuration file (/etc/renderd.conf) add one section for any flavour/language you want to support:

  [fortefr]
  URI=/fortefr/
  TILEDIR=/srv/tilery/tmp/tiles
  XML=/srv/tilery/pianoforte/fortefr.xml
  HOST=localhost
  TILESIZE=256
  MAXZOOM=20
  CORS=*

if you want retina support, add dedicated sections, example:

  [fortefr2x]
  URI=/fortefr@2x/
  TILEDIR=/srv/tilery/tmp/tiles
  XML=/srv/tilery/pianoforte/fortefr.xml
  HOST=localhost
  TILESIZE=512
  SCALE=2
  MAXZOOM=20
  CORS=*

configure mod_tile; create /etc/apache2/mods-available/tile.load with this content:
```
  LoadModule tile_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_tile.so
```

create /etc/apache2/mods-available/tile.load with this content:

  <IfModule tile_module>
      LoadTileConfigFile /etc/renderd.conf
      ModTileRenderdSocketName /var/run/renderd/renderd.sock
      # Timeout before giving up for a tile to be rendered
      ModTileRequestTimeout 0
      # Timeout before giving up for a tile to be rendered that is otherwise missing
      ModTileMissingRequestTimeout 30
  </IfModule>

run renderd

  /usr/bin/renderd -f -c /etc/renderd.conf
