This is a simple docker-compose setup for a mapnik and mod_tile based OSM tile server.

To start the servers simply run ./bin/start.sh. The similar stop script shut down the stack.

By default the tile server exposes its port 80 to the host port 9000. After a successful start the function can be tested in a browser call the following URL http://LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS:9000/tile_test/.

After the very first start the tile server setup doesn't contain any data.

To delete already rendered tiles it's fine to remove the content of the host-mounted tile folder.

sudo rm -rf ./volumes/tiles/ajt

To delete the current database it's enough to remove the host mounted database directory.

sudo rm -rf ./volumes/db

The start script takes care that missing directories are created before the docker stack is started.

To import the data there is an example script in the /bin folder. It expects the berlin-latest.osm.pbf file in the import folder. If other data should be imported, download them from http://download.geofabrik.de/, place them into the import folder and add a seperate import script.

1. download the desired data from http://download.geofabrik.de/, e.g. http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin-latest.osm.pbf
2. save it into the /import folder
3. start the tile server stack: ./bin/start.sh
4. expected the import script points to the right import file - currently berlin, call ./bin/importData.sh
5. restart renderd in the tile server to renew the database connections: ./bin/restartRenderd.sh
