Go Vector Map Tile Server

A tile server using vecamole and Mapnik to render vector tiles from a Mapnik data source and configuration.

Installation

First, install vecamole. That's the only hard bit. From then, it should be as simple as:

go install github.com/zerebubuth/go-vector-map-tile-server

Running it

You can run it from your $GOPATH like this:

bin/go-vector-map-tile-server

It has a few command line options:

• help: Print a short usage message.
• numProcs: The number of Mapnik processes to run. More processes will allow more parallelism, but also consume more resources. The default is the same as $GOMAXPROCS.
• port: The port number to start the HTTP server listening on. Default 8080.
• styleFile: The Mapnik style file to load and serve. Default map.xml.

And will respond to HTTP requests of the form: http://localhost:8080/$z/$x/$y.$fmt, or whatever port you ended up running the server on. Note that, at the moment, the format has no effect - you always get back protocol buffers Mapnik vector tiles.
