Maps Tile Server

For environments without outbound network access that require map tiles, an OpenStreetMap tile server is provided. If you do not want to run the tile server, which can be resource intensive, comment out or remove the maps service from docker-compose.yml.

Before starting the package up, you will need a .pbf file containing OpenStreetMap data. For free .pbf files we recommend this website. Loading an entire continent, or the whole world, will require a significant amount of fast disk space, so please keep this in mind.

.pbf files can be loaded like this:

./bin/graphgrid maps import north-america-latest.osm.pbf

The map file will import in the background, so you can run docker stats or follow the container's logs to know when the import process has finished and the rest of the package can be started.
