Build Your Own OpenStreetMap Tile Server on Ubuntu 22.04

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a user-contributed, freely-editable world map. It’s an open-source and self-hosted alternative to Google Maps. This tutorial will show you how to build your own OpenStreetMap tile server on Ubuntu 22.04 so you don’t have to use a proprietary map service.

OpenStreetMap Features

  • OpenStreetMap data covers the whole world, making it easy to support users in any country or every country.
  • OpenStreetMap is updated every minute of every hour of every day, and these updates are available to you in real-time.
  • OpenStreetMap data is free and open – there is no subscription fee and no page-view fee.
  • OpenStreetMap data is rich and detailed, containing huge amounts of data that is relevant to people on the ground – the people who collected it.

Hint: This tutorial shows how to set up a raster tile server. If you want a vector tile server, you should instead follow this TileServer GL/OpenMapTiles tutorial. Don’t know which one is better? Just choose vector tile server, which is much faster than raster tile server.

Prerequisites/Hardware Requirements

It’s recommended to use a server with a clean fresh OS.

The required RAM and disk space depend on which country’s map you are going to use. For example,

  • The UK map requires at least 12G RAM and 100GB disk space.
  • The whole planet map requires at least 32G RAM and 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive). It’s not viable to use a spinning hard disk for the whole planet map.

You will need more disk space if you are going to pre-render tiles to speed up map loading in the web browser, which is highly recommended. Check this tile disk usage page to see how much disk space are required for pre-rendering tiles. For example, if you are going to pre-render tiles from zoom level 0 to zoom level 15 for the planet map, an extra 460 GB disk space is required.

Another thing to note is that importing large map data, like the whole planet, to PostgreSQL database takes a long time. Consider adding more RAM and especially using SSD instead of spinning hard disk to speed up the import process.

If you are going to host the entire world map, I recommend you buy the extra-large VPS from Contabo, which boasts

  • A 10 core CPU
  • 60 GB RAM
  • 1.6 TB Intel Optane SSD

It costs just 26.99 €/month.

Step 1: Upgrade Software

It’s always a good practice to update server software before doing any major work on your server. Log into your server via SSH and run the following command.

sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL Database Server and the PostGIS Extension

We will use PostgreSQL to store map data. The PostgreSQL team always strives to make performance improvements with every new version. Run the following 4 commands to install the latest version of PostgreSQL.

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/postgresql.asc] http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings/

wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/postgresql.asc

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib postgresql-15 postgresql-client-15

Then install PostGIS, which is a geospatial extension to PostgreSQL.

sudo apt install postgis postgresql-15-postgis-3

PostgreSQL database server will automatically start and listens on 127.0.0.1:5432. The postgres user will be created on the OS during the installation process. It’s the super user for PostgreSQL database server. By default, this user has no password and there’s no need to set one because you can use sudo to switch to the postgres user and log into PostgreSQL server.

sudo -u postgres -i

Now you can create a PostgreSQL database user osm.

createuser osm

Then create a database named gis and at the same time make osm as the owner of the database. Please don’t change the database name. Other tools like Renderd and Mapnik assume there’s a database named gis.

createdb -E UTF8 -O osm gis

Next, create the postgis and hstore extension for the gis database.

psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis;" -d gis

psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION hstore;" -d gis

Set osm as the table owner.

psql -c "ALTER TABLE spatial_ref_sys OWNER TO osm;" -d gis

Exit from the postgres user.

exit

Create osm user on your operating system so the tile server can run as osm user. The following command will create a system user without password.

sudo adduser --system --group osm

Step 3: Download Map Stylesheet and Map Data

Change to osm’s home directory.

cd /home/osm/

Grant permissions to your user account with the following command. Replace username with your real username.

sudo apt install acl
sudo setfacl -R -m u:username:rwx /home/osm/

Download the latest CartoCSS map stylesheets to the osm user’s home directory with git.

sudo apt install git

git clone https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto.git

Then run one of the following commands to download the map data in PBF (ProtoBufBinary) format.

Britain and Ireland (1.7G)

wget -c http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/britain-and-ireland-latest.osm.pbf

Europe (25.8G)

wget -c http://download.geofabrik.de/europe-latest.osm.pbf

North America (11.8G)

wget -c http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america-latest.osm.pbf

South America (2.9G)

wget -c http://download.geofabrik.de/south-america-latest.osm.pbf

Central America (570MB)

wget -c http://download.geofabrik.de/central-america-latest.osm.pbf

Asia (11.2G)

wget -c http://download.geofabrik.de/asia-latest.osm.pbf

Africa (5.5G)

wget -c http://download.geofabrik.de/africa-latest.osm.pbf

Whole planet (66G). Note: I recommend only downloading the whole plant map when you really need to display the map of the whole world, or you will waste time waiting for the tile server to process unnecessary data.

wget -c http://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf

or

wget -c https://download.bbbike.org/osm/planet/planet-latest.osm.pbf

If you want other map of individual country/state/province/city, go to http://download.geofabrik.de. Also, BBBike.org provides extracts of more than 200 cities and regions worldwide in different formats.

Step 4: Optimize PostgreSQL Server Performance

The import process can take some time. To speed up this process, we can tune some PostgreSQL server settings to improve performance. Edit PostgreSQL main configuration file.

sudo nano /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.conf

First, we should change the value of shared_buffer. The default setting is:

shared_buffers = 128MB

This is too small. The rule of thumb is to set it to 25% of your total RAM (excluding swap space). For example, my VPS has 60G RAM, so I set it to:

shared_buffers = 15GB

Find the following line.

#work_mem = 4MB
#maintenance_work_mem = 64MB

Again, the value is too small. I use the following settings.

work_mem = 1GB
maintenance_work_mem = 8GB

Then find the following line.

#effective_cache_size = 4GB

If you have lots of RAM like I do, you can set a higher value for the effective_cache_size like 20G.

effective_cache_size = 20GB

Save and close the file. Restart PostgreSQL for the changes to take effect.

sudo systemctl restart postgresql

By default, PostgreSQL would try to use huge pages in RAM. However, Linux by default does not allocate huge pages. Check the process ID of PostgreSQL.

sudo head -1 /var/lib/postgresql/15/main/postmaster.pid

Sample output:

7031

Then check the VmPeak value of this process ID.

grep ^VmPeak /proc/7031/status

Sample output:

VmPeak: 16282784 kB

This is the peak memory size that will be used by PostgreSQL. Now check the size of huge page in Linux.

cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i huge

Sample output:

AnonHugePages:         0 kB
ShmemHugePages:        0 kB
HugePages_Total:       0
HugePages_Free:        0
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
Hugepagesize:       2048 kB
Hugetlb:               0 kB

We can calculate how many huge pages we need. Divide the VmPeak value by the size of huge page: 16282784 kB / 2048 kB = 7950. Then we need to edit the sysctl files to change Linux kernel parameters. Instead of editing the /etc/sysctl.conf file, we create a custom config file, so your custom configurations won’t be overwritten when upgrading software packages.

sudo touch /etc/sysctl.d/60-custom.conf

Then run the following command to allocate 7950 huge pages.

echo "vm.nr_hugepages = 7950" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.d/60-custom.conf

Save and close the file. Apply the changes.

sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/60-custom.conf

If you check the meminfo again,

cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i huge

We can see there are 7950 huge pages available.

AnonHugePages:         0 kB
ShmemHugePages:        0 kB
HugePages_Total:    7950
HugePages_Free:     7950
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
Hugepagesize:       2048 kB

Restart PostgreSQL to use huge pages.

sudo systemctl restart postgresql

Hint: Don’t disable huge pages once PostgreSQL starts using them, or PostgreSQL will complain that it could not map anonymous shared memory and cannot allocate memory.

Use Screen on Remote Servers

Since the import process can take a long time and your computer might be disconnected from Internet, it’s recommended to use the screen utility to keep your session alive. Install screen on the Ubuntu 22.04 server:

sudo apt install screen

Then start screen:

screen

Upon first launch, you will see an introduction text, simply press Enter to end. Then you will be able to run commands as usual.

Step 5: Import the Map Data to PostgreSQL

To import map data, we need to install osm2pgsql which converts OpenStreetMap data to postGIS-enabled PostgreSQL databases.

sudo apt install osm2pgsql

Grant permissions to the postgres user.

sudo setfacl -R -m u:postgres:rwx /home/osm/

Switch to the postgres user.

sudo -u postgres -i

Run the following command to load map stylesheet and map data into the gis database. Replace great-britain-latest.osm.pbf with your own map data file.

osm2pgsql --slim -d gis --hstore --multi-geometry --number-processes 10 --tag-transform-script /home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto.lua --style /home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto.style -C 32000 /home/osm/britain-and-ireland-latest.osm.pbf

where

  • --slim: run in slim mode rather than normal mode. This option is needed if you want to update the map data using OSM change files (OSC) in the future.
  • -d gis: select database.
  • --hstore: add tags without column to an additional hstore (key/value) column to PostgreSQL tables
  • --multi-geometry: generate multi-geometry features in postgresql tables.
  • --style: specify the location of style file
  • --number-processes: number of CPU cores on your server. I have 10.
  • -C flag specifies the cache size in MegaBytes. It should be around 70% of the free RAM on your machine. Bigger cache size results in faster import speed. For example, my server has 60GB free RAM, so I can specify -C 32000. Be aware that PostgreSQL will need RAM for shared_buffers. Use this formula to calculate how big the cache size should be: (Total RAM - PostgreSQL shared_buffers) * 70%
  • Finally, you need to specify the location of map data file.

Command Output:

openstreetmap-osm2pgsql-import-map-data

If you are going to import the full planet map data, then use the --drop option and the --flat-nodes option to increase the import speed. Note that the --flat-nodes option isn’t suitable for small maps.

osm2pgsql --slim -d gis --drop --flat-nodes /home/osm/nodes.cache --hstore --multi-geometry --number-processes 10 --tag-transform-script /home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto.lua --style /home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto.style -C 32000 /home/osm/planet-latest.osm.pbf

RAM usage will gradually increase during the importing process.

Now you probably don’t need to do other things on your server. Since you are using Screen, you can press Ctrl+A, release those keys, and then press D key to detach from the current Screen session. You will see a message like below.

[detached from 32113.pts-1.focal]

This tells me that the previous Screen session ID is 32113. You can log out from the SSH session and even shut down your computer. Don’t worry, the OSM import process is still running. When you need to come back and check the import progress, SSH into your server and run the following command to get the previous Screen Session ID.

screen -ls

Sample output:

There is a screen on:
	32113.pts-1.focal	(05/19/2020 03:45:29 PM)	(Detached)
1 Socket in /run/screen/S-linuxbabe.

Then you can re-attach to the previous Screen session.

screen -r 32113

And you will be able to continue your work. Once the import is complete, grant all privileges of the gis database to the osm user.

psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO osm;" -d gis

Exit from the postgres user.

exit

Note: If the osm2pgsql import isn’t finished yet, please don’t continue with step 6.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter the following error when importing map data from PBF file,

PBF error : invalid Blobheader size (> max_blob_header_size)

it’s probably because your PBF file is corrupt. Verify the md5sum of the PBF file like below.

md5sum great-britain-latest.osm.pbf

Compare the result with the md5sum value on the PBF file download page.

Step 6: Install Renderd and mod_tile

  • renderd is a daemon for rendering OpenStreetMap tiles from the PostgreSQL database.
  • mod_tile is an Apache module that is used to serve tiles to clients (e.g. web browsers)

The default Ubuntu repository does not include mod_tile and renderd, but we can install them from the OSM PPA.

sudo apt install software-properties-common

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:osmadmins/ppa

sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-tile renderd

The Apache web server will be installed and a config file for renderd will also be created at /etc/apache2/conf-available/renderd.conf.

Enable the tile module.

sudo a2enmod tile

Next, create a virtual host for the tile server.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/tileserver_site.conf

Add the following lines in this file. Replace tile.your-domain.com with your real domain name. Don’t forget to DNS A record.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName tile.your-domain.com
    LogLevel info
    Include /etc/apache2/conf-available/renderd.conf

</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file. Enable this virtual host.

sudo a2ensite tileserver_site.conf

Restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

sudo systemctl restart apache2

The render daemon will automatically start, as can be seen with:

systemctl status renderd

Sample output:

 renderd.service - Daemon that renders map tiles using mapnik
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/renderd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2022-08-21 14:35:51 CEST; 1min 50s ago
       Docs: man:renderd
   Main PID: 74593 (renderd)
      Tasks: 15 (limit: 72256)
     Memory: 46.4M
        CPU: 2.143s
     CGroup: /system.slice/renderd.service
             └─74593 /usr/bin/renderd -f

Step 7: Generate Mapnik Stylesheet

Install the required packages.

sudo apt install -y curl unzip gdal-bin mapnik-utils libmapnik-dev python3-pip

We also need to install nodejs and npm from the upstream repository with the following commands.

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs npm

Then install the carto package with npm.

sudo npm install -g carto

Install the psycopg2 Python module.

sudo -H pip3 install psycopg2==2.8.5

Switch to the postgres user.

sudo -u postgres -i

Cd into the carto style directory.

cd /home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/

Get shapefiles.

scripts/get-external-data.py

Sample output:

INFO:root:Starting load of external data into database
INFO:root:Checking table simplified_water_polygons
INFO:root:  Download complete (23715086 bytes)
INFO:root:  Decompressing file

INFO:root:  Download complete (57325 bytes)
INFO:root:  Decompressing file
INFO:root:  Importing into database
INFO:root:  Import complete

If you encounter the following error message while running the above command, then you have DNS issues. Simply wait for several minutes and run the Python script again.

Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution

Now build the Mapnik XML stylesheet with the carto map stylesheet compiler.

carto project.mml > style.xml

If there are the following warning messages, you can ignore them.

Warning: style/admin.mss:64:6 Styles do not match layer selector #admin-low-zoom.
Warning: style/admin.mss:59:6 Styles do not match layer selector #admin-low-zoom.
Warning: style/admin.mss:55:6 Styles do not match layer selector #admin-low-zoom.
Warning: style/admin.mss:51:6 Styles do not match layer selector #admin-low-zoom.
Warning: style/admin.mss:27:19 Styles do not match layer selector #admin-low-zoom.
Warning: style/admin.mss:26:19 Styles do not match layer selector #admin-low-zoom.

Grant all privileges of the gis database to the osm user.

psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO osm;" -d gis

Exit from the postgres user.

exit

Step 8: Install Fonts

Install TrueType fonts.

sudo apt install ttf-dejavu

To display non-Latin characters, install the following packages.

sudo apt install fonts-noto-cjk fonts-noto-cjk-extra fonts-noto-hinted fonts-noto-unhinted

Step 9: Configure renderd

Edit renderd config file.

sudo nano /etc/renderd.conf

In the [renderd] section, change the number of threads according to the number of CPU cores on your server.

num_threads=10

Add a default layer. Lines beginning with semicolons (;) are comments.

; ADD YOUR LAYERS:
[default]
URI=/osm/
XML=/home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/style.xml
HOST=tile.your-domain.com

Configure renderd OSM

By default, renderd allows a max zoom level of 18. If you need zoom level 19, add the following line in the [default] section.

MAXZOOM=19

Save and close the file. Then create a new directory for the renderd service.

sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/renderd.service.d/

Create a custom config file under this directory.

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/renderd.service.d/custom.conf

Add the following lines in this file.

[Service]
User=osm

Save and close the file. Change the ownership of /run/renderd/ and /var/cache/renderd/tiles/ directory.

sudo chown osm /run/renderd/ -R
sudo chown osm /var/cache/renderd/tiles/ -R

Then restart renderd service.

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl restart renderd

You need to check the log of renderd.

sudo journalctl -eu renderd

Make sure renderd does not produce any error in the log after the restart, or the map won’t be displayed.

Step 10: Test

In your web browser address bar, type

tile.your-domain.com/osm/0/0/0.png

You should see the tile of the world map. Congrats! You just successfully built your own OSM tile server.

osm-tile-for-world-map

If you have enabled the UFW firewall, be sure to open port 80 and 443 with the following command.

sudo ufw allow 80,443/tcp

If you see the 404 not found error, simply wait a few minutes, refresh the page in your browser and it should be able to load the tile of world map. If it still won’t load, then restart renderd service (sudo systemctl restart renderd). You might also need to pre-render tiles (step 12) in order to display the world map tile.

Step 11: Display Your Tiled Web Map

Now you have a working OSM tile server, you need to use a JavaScript map library to display the map on your other servers. In this tutorial, I’m creating the web map on the tile server, but you can do it on any other server.

A tiled web map is also known as a slippy map in OpenStreetMap terminology. There are two free and open-source JavaScript map libraries you can use for your tile server: OpenLayer and Leaflet. The advantage of Leaflet is that it is simple to use and your map will be mobile-friendly.

OpenLayer

To display your slippy map with OpenLayer, download JavaScript and CSS from openlayer.org and extract it to the webroot folder.

cd /var/www/html/

sudo wget https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/releases/download/v5.3.0/v5.3.0.zip

sudo unzip v5.3.0.zip

Next, create the index.html file.

sudo nano /var/www/html/index.html

Paste the following HTML code in the file. Replace red-colored text and adjust the longitude, latitude and zoom level according to your needs.

<!DOCTYPE html>

  <script>
    var map = new ol.Map({
      layers: [
        new ol.layer.Tile({
          source: new ol.source.OSM({
             url: 'http://tile.your-domain.com/osm/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'
          })
       })
     ],
     target: 'map',
     controls: ol.control.defaults({
        attributionOptions: /** @type {olx.control.AttributionOptions} */ ({
          collapsible: false
        })
     }),
    view: new ol.View({
       center: [244780.24508882355, 7386452.183179816],
       zoom:5
    })
 });

  document.getElementById('zoom-out').onclick = function() {
    var view = map.getView();
    var zoom = view.getZoom();
    view.setZoom(zoom - 1);
  };

  document.getElementById('zoom-in').onclick = function() {
     var view = map.getView();
     var zoom = view.getZoom();
     view.setZoom(zoom + 1);
  };
</script>
</body>
</html>

Save and close the file. Now you can view your slippy map by typing your sub-domain in the browser address bar.

tile.your-domain.com

or

tile.your-domain.com/index.html

Leaflet

To display your slippy map with Leftlet, download JavaScript and CSS from leftletjs.com and extract it to the webroot folder.

cd /var/www/html/

sudo wget http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet/v1.7.1/leaflet.zip

sudo unzip leaflet.zip

Next, create the index.html file. If there is already an index.html file, then delete the original content.

sudo nano /var/www/html/index.html

Paste the following HTML code in the file. Replace red-colored text and adjust the longitude, latitude and zoom level according to your needs.

<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>My first osm</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="leaflet.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="leaflet.js"></script>
<style>
   #map{width:100%;height:100%}
</style>
</head>

<body>
  <div id="map"></div>
  <script>
    var map = L.map('map').setView([55,0.8],6);
    L.tileLayer('http://tile.your-domain.com/osm/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',{maxZoom:18}).addTo(map);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Save and close the file. Now you can view your slippy map by typing your server IP address in browser.

tile.your-domain.com

or

tile.your-domain.com/index.html

openstreetmap tile server setup

Step 12: Pre-render Tiles

Rendering tiles on-the-fly will increase the map loading time in web browser. To pre-render tiles instead of rendering on the fly, use the following render_list command. Use -z and -Z flag specify the zoom level and replace the number of threads according to the number of CPU cores on your server. Render_list renders a list of map tiles by sending requests to the rendering daemon. Pre-rendered tiles will be cached in /var/lib/mod_tile directory.

render_list -m default -a -z 0 -Z 19 --num-threads=10

If later you updated the map data, you can pre-render all tiles again by using the --force option.

render_list -m default -a -z 0 -Z 19 --num-threads=10 --force

To render map tiles in the background, add the & symbol at the end.

render_list -m default -a -z 0 -Z 19 --num-threads=10 &

Now you can close the terminal window. To check the rendering progress, open another SSH session, and run the following command.

sudo journalctl -eu renderd

The above command will show the latest log of the renderd service. The following lines show that my OSM server is now rendering map tiles at zoom level 12.

 renderd[20838]: DEBUG: START TILE default 12 1008-1015 4056-4063, new metatile

Step 13: Enable HTTPS

To encrypt HTTP traffic, we can obtain and install a free TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt. The osmadmins/ppa PPA contains a malfunctioning certbot binary, so I recommend installing certbot from the Snap store.

sudo apt install snapd

sudo snap install --classic certbot

Then run the following command to obtain and install TLS certificate.

sudo /snap/bin/certbot --apache --agree-tos --redirect --hsts --staple-ocsp --must-staple --email [email protected] -d tile.your-domain.com

Once the certificate is installed, refresh the web page and you will see a lock in the address bar.

sm-tile-server-ubuntu-20.04-install

If you see a yellow triangle in Firefox address bar, that means the tile URLs are still using HTTP. You need to edit the index.html file and replace all HTTP protocol with HTTPS with the following command.

sudo sed -i 's/http/https/g' /var/www/index.html

Step 14: Enable HTTP2

To further improve map loading performance, you can enable HTTP2 protocol. First, you need to enable the HTTP2 module.

sudo a2enmod http2

Then open the SSL virtual host file.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tileserver_site-le-ssl.conf

Put the following directive after the opening <VirtualHost *:443> tag.

Protocols h2 http/1.1

Save and close the file. Then restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Restrict Access to Your OSM Tile Server with HTTP Referrer Header

By default, anyone can use OpenLayer or Leaflet to create a slippy map with the URL of your tile server. To restrict access to your tile server, edit the Apache virtual host file.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tileserver_site-le-ssl.conf

Add the following lines in the <VirtualHost> tags.

    <Location /osm>
        SetEnvIf Referer example\.com trusted_referer
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from env=trusted_referer
    </Location>

The above code checks if the HTTP referer header includes your own domain. If not, access to the /osm directory will be denied. The backslash is used to escape the dot character. To add multiple hostnames as trusted referrers, use the following syntax.

SetEnvIf Referer (example\.com|www\.example\.com|map\.example\.com) trusted_referer

Save and close the file. Then test the syntax.

sudo apache2ctl -t

If the syntax is Ok, reload Apache for the changes to take effect.

sudo systemctl reload apache2

Auto-Renew TLS Certificate

You can create Cron job to automatically renew TLS certificate. Simply open root user’s crontab file.

sudo crontab -e

Add the following line at the bottom of the file.

@daily /snap/bin/certbot renew --quiet && systemctl reload apache2

PostgreSQL Database and Web Server on Different Hosts

If your PostgreSQL and Apache web server reside on different hosts, then you need to edit the project.mml file on the Apache host.

nano /home/osm/openstreetmap-carto-4.20.0/project.mml

Find the following lines:

osm2pgsql: &osm2pgsql
  type: "postgis"
  dbname: "gis"
  key_field: ""
  geometry_field: "way"
  extent: "-20037508,-20037508,20037508,20037508"

Specify the IP address of PostgreSQL database server.

osm2pgsql: &osm2pgsql
  type: "postgis"
  host: "10.0.0.2"
  dbname: "gis"
  key_field: ""
  geometry_field: "way"
  extent: "-20037508,-20037508,20037508,20037508"

Save and close the file. Then build the Mapnik XML stylesheet with the carto map stylesheet compiler.

carto project.mml > style.xml

On the PostgreSQL database server, edit the main configuration file.

sudo nano /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.conf

Add the following line to set PostgreSQL to listen on all interfaces.

listen_addresses = '*'

Save and close the file. Then edit the PostgreSQL client authentication configuration file.

sudo nano /etc/postgresql/15/main/pg_hba.conf

Add the following line at the end of the file to allow the osm user to login from the Apache host. Replace 10.0.0.1 with the IP address of Apache host.

host   gis   osm   10.0.0.1/32   trust

Save and close the file. Then restart PostgreSQL.

sudo systemctl restart postgresql

Restart the render daemon on the Apache host.

sudo systemctl restart renderd

You need to check the log of renderd. Make sure renderd does not produce any error in the log, or the map won’t be displayed.

sudo journalctl -eu renderd

You should also restrict access to port 5432 of the PostgreSQL database server. For example, you can use the following UFW command to allow the IP address of Apache host only.

sudo ufw allow in from 10.0.0.1 to any port 5432

How to Update the gis Database

Stop renderd.

sudo systemctl stop renderd

Switch to the postgres user.

sudo -u postgres -i

Delete the gis database.

dropdb gis;

Create a new database.

createdb -E UTF8 -O osm gis

Next, create the postgis and hstore extension for the gis database.

psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis;" -d gis

psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION hstore;" -d gis

Set osm as the table owner.

psql -c "ALTER TABLE spatial_ref_sys OWNER TO osm;" -d gis

Download the latest map.

wget http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/britain-and-ireland-latest.osm.pbf

Download the latest CartoCSS map stylesheets to the osm user’s home directory with git.

git clone https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto.git

Import the map data.

osm2pgsql --slim -d gis --hstore --multi-geometry --number-processes 10 --tag-transform-script /var/lib/postgresql/openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto.lua --style /var/lib/postgresql/openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto.style -C 32000 /var/lib/postgresql/great-britain-latest.osm.pbf

Once the import is complete, grant all privileges of the gis database to the osm user.

psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO osm;" -d gis

Cd into the carto style directory.

cd /var/lib/postgresql/openstreetmap-carto/

Get shapefiles.

scripts/get-external-data.py

Now build the Mapnik XML stylesheet with the carto map stylesheet compiler.

carto project.mml > style.xml

Grant all privileges of the gis database to the osm user.

psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO osm;" -d gis

Exit from the postgres user.

exit

Edit the /etc/renderd.conf file and change

XML=/home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/style.xml

to

XML=/var/lib/postgresql/openstreetmap-carto/style.xml

Restart renderd.

sudo systemctl restart renderd

You can render all tiles again by using the --force option.

render_list -m default -a -z 0 -Z 19 --num-threads=10 --force

Open another SSH session and check the renderd journal log.

sudo journalctl -eu renderd

If a tile has been updated, then renderd will re-render this tile.

DEBUG: START TILE default 7 0-7 16-23, age 655.16 days
Rendering projected coordinates 7 0 16 -> -20037508.342800|12523442.714250 -17532819.799950|15028131.257100 to a 8 x 8 tile

    Hi, first of all, thanks for the tutorial, it`s great.

  • PaulInOttawa

    Thanks for your tutorial!

  • Hi, Great tutorial! I was able to load in a small .pbf and serve the tiles to my leaflet viewer. I want to add another .pbf to my server and so I tried just doing the osm2pgsql line of Step-4 again, but with the new .pbf file. However when I restart the server (i.e. reboot the virtualmachine that is running it) I don’t see my knew area on the map, just the original one. Is there something else I need to do to load in new tiles?

    Thanks!

    *EDIT*

    Actually I can see it now. I just had to zoom in and wait for a bit so the renderd service could process the request for the new area I was looking at.

    Hi Mr. Guoan,

    I’m having trouble with this.
    I followed your instructions carefully but still got an error: 404 Not found when accessing it on browser.

    Please help me. Thanks.

    • Xiao Guoan
      8 years ago

      If it’s a 404 error, then you should first check out the Apache error log /var/log/apache2/error.log to find out what caused the error.

      • Pevin Elsenique

        Thanks for your response.

        It says

        Checked the /var/run/renderd/ folder and found out that it was empty.

        Tried to remove the semicolon on renderd.sock part of the renderd.conf, but still got the same error.

        Really appreciate your help.

          I’m sorry but I still got the same error.

        • Michi Scholz
          8 years ago

          I had the same problem. After investigating I found out that after the installation of mod_tile, its shared libraries were not yet registered correctly to the system. Run “sudo service renderd status” to check what is going wrong and also take a look into /var/log/syslog. In my case libiniparser.so.3 was not found by renderd. Simply running “sudo ldconfig” fixed it. After restarting renderd via “sudo service renderd restart” the error disappeared and everything was working as expected.

    Reminder, given the recent compromises, you should include adding a firewall/iptables entry so that postgres is NOT open to the internet.

    • Xiao Guo An (Admin)

    Hello,
    followed your tutorial and was able to install my tile server nickel, thank you very much.
    I wonder if I can install gisgraphy along with the tile server, because I need geocoding and reverse gecocoding services.
    Any advice on how to proceed since tile server is already in production.

    Thank you again

    Hi! Great tutorial… Seriously, the best one I have found. One question, how can I serve my map data as WMTS tiles to ArcGIS? I’m not sure how to create a WMTS_Capabilities file or where it should go. Do you have an example or tutorial for that?

  • I think that the –drop option in the database load command will prevent the possibility to update the database later according to the documentation as the ‘–slim’ tables needed for the update are no longer there.

    Also I think that the load command show be executed from the _reader in stead of postgres the you would not need to open up access to allowing for anyone.

  • I have encountered a problem at the step test http://site/osm/0/0/0.png
    Got 404
    It turned out that apache process did not have enough rights to the renderd.socket file
    Added rights with facl and it took off!

      Solucionei esse problema executando o script que instala as fontes do carto. `scripts/get-fonts.sh`

      Além disso, tem uma das requisições que tu vai ter que usar o parâmetro `-k` para ele não conferir o certificado do site.

      • Thank you for the infomation.
        I had the same problem with the fonts.
        I did as follows:
        1) I ran the script: /home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/scripts/get.fonts.sh -k
        Necessarily with the -k parameter.
        2) Copying the directory: /home/osm/openstreetmap-carto/scripts/fonts to the directory: /usr/shaer/fonts/truetype

  • Hi I followed the tutorial but at step 10 when I am opening the site , it says this site can’t be reached . Can you please help

  • I want delete all fonts . is it possible?

    Hi,
    I ran into an issue where the socket was not created with the right owner.
    As a result the tiles could not be rendered, i think everyone will have the same issue.

    I fixed this by adding the following line in /etc/systemd/system/renderd.service.d/custom.conf
    RuntimeDirectory=renderd

    Making the tutorial:

    sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/renderd.service.d/custom.conf

    [Service]
    User=osm
    RuntimeDirectory=renderd

    This is my small contribution to anotherwise good tutorial.

  • Hi,

    Is it recommended to create gis table indexes?

    Switch2OSM instructions say they are essentially required since v5.3.0

      You forgot to run this command?

      sudo setfacl -R -m u:postgres:rwx /home/osm/

      It’s in step 5.
