Generating VectorTiles from OpenStreetMap data workshop

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Git
• Git bash (for windows)
• make ( download for windows )

Clone OpenMapTiles repository

git clone https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles.git
cd openmaptiles

Code generating from the layer definitions ( ./build/mapping.yaml; ./build/tileset.sql )

make

Download PBF file from Geofabrik

• PBFs can be downloaded from GeoFabrik

Clip area you want to import using osmconvert

Clipping based on Longitude and Latitude

osmconvert file.pbf -b=23.292333,46.626013,23.933521,46.956346 -o=clipped.pbf

Clipping based on a Polygon

osmconvert file.pbf -B=area.poly -o=clipped.pbf

Copy PBF to import inside openmaptiles/data

mkdir data
cp /path/to/file.pbf data/file.pbf

Start PostgreSQL

docker-compose up -d postgres

Import water, natural earth, lake lines and borders

docker-compose run import-water
docker-compose run import-natural-earth
docker-compose run import-lakelines
docker-compose run import-osmborder

Import pbf files from ./data into PostgreSQL

docker-compose run import-osm

Start SQL postprocessing: ./build/tileset.sql -> PostgreSQL "

make clean && make && make import-sql

Generate vector tiles for a defined bounding box

docker-compose run -e BBOX="23.292333,46.626013,23.933521,46.956346" generate-vectortiles

Start the server serve the tiles

• run this in CMD under Windows docker run --rm -it -v /c/users/path/to/openmaptiles/data:/data -p 8080:80 klokantech/tileserver-gl
