Architecture

Modules

Importer

The importer will acquire an osm.pbf file (defined in importer/config.js, currently set on belgium-latest.osm.pbf from Geofabrik – see General - Data for more information).

Server

The base url of the tiles is http://localhost:8080/tiles

All kind of items are available on separated routes prfixed by the "base url" :

• /waterways/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /waterareas/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /landusages/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /aeroways/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /transport_areas/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /roads/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /admin/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /housenumbers/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /buildings/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /amenities/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

• /places/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf

Known issues : the server does not refresh already cached tiles.

You can clear the cache by issuing docker-compose exec maps-server /app/clear_cache.

Database

A Dockerfile is provided to build a compatible database service.
