These instructions are designed for setting up openstreetmap-website
for development and testing using Docker. This will allow you to install the OpenStreetMap application and all its dependencies in Docker images and then run them in containers, almost with a single command.
-
Use Docker Desktop via docker.com Download.
-
You have to enable git symlinks before cloning the repository. This repository uses symbolic links that are not enabled by default on Windows git. To enable them, turn on Developer Mode on Windows and run
git config --global core.symlinks true
to enable symlinks in Git. See this StackOverflow question for more information.
- Use Docker Desktop via docker.com Download.
- Or Homebrew.
Use Docker Engine with the docker-compose-plugin
The first step is to fork/clone the repo to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website.git
Now change working directory to the openstreetmap-website
:
cd openstreetmap-website
cp config/example.storage.yml config/storage.yml
cp config/docker.database.yml config/database.yml
This is a workaround. See issues/2185 for details.
touch config/settings.local.yml
Windows users: touch
is not an availible command in Windows so just create a settings.local.yml
file in the config
directory, or if you have WSL you can run wsl touch config/settings.local.yml
.
To build local Docker images run from the root directory of the repository:
docker compose build
If this is your first time running or you have removed cache this will take some time to complete. Once the Docker images have finished building you can launch the images as containers.
To launch the app run:
docker compose up -d
This will launch one Docker container for each 'service' specified in docker-compose.yml
and run them in the background. There are two options for inspecting the logs of these running containers:
- You can tail logs of a running container with a command like this:
docker compose logs -f web
ordocker compose logs -f db
. - Instead of running the containers in the background with the
-d
flag, you can launch the containers in the foreground withdocker compose up
. The downside of this is that the logs of all the 'services' defined indocker-compose.yml
will be intermingled. If you don't want this you can mix and match - for example, you can run the database in background withdocker compose up -d db
and then run the Rails app in the foreground viadocker compose up web
.
Run the Rails database migrations:
docker compose run --rm web bundle exec rails db:migrate
Prepare the test database:
docker compose run --rm web bundle exec rails db:test:prepare
Run the test suite:
docker compose run --rm web bundle exec rails test:all
This installation comes with no geographic data loaded. You can either create new data using one of the editors (Potlatch 2, iD, JOSM etc) or by loading an OSM extract. Here an example for loading an OSM extract into your Docker-based OSM instance.
For example, let's download the District of Columbia from Geofabrik or any other region:
wget https://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/district-of-columbia-latest.osm.pbf
You can now use Docker to load this extract into your local Docker-based OSM instance:
docker compose run --rm web osmosis \
-verbose \
--read-pbf district-of-columbia-latest.osm.pbf \
--log-progress \
--write-apidb \
host="db" \
database="openstreetmap" \
user="openstreetmap" \
validateSchemaVersion="no"
Windows users: Powershell uses `
and CMD uses ^
at the end of each line, e.g.:
docker compose run --rm web osmosis `
-verbose `
--read-pbf district-of-columbia-latest.osm.pbf `
--log-progress `
--write-apidb `
host="db" `
database="openstreetmap" `
user="openstreetmap" `
validateSchemaVersion="no"
Once you have data loaded for Washington, DC you should be able to navigate to http://localhost:3000/#map=12/38.8938/-77.0146
to begin working with your local instance.
See CONFIGURE.md
for information on how to manage users and enable OAuth for iD, JOSM etc.
If you want to get into a web container and run specific commands you can fire up a throwaway container to run bash in via:
docker compose run --rm web bash
Alternatively, if you want to use the already-running web
container then you can exec
into it via:
docker compose exec web bash
Similarly, if you want to exec
in the db container use:
docker compose exec db bash
