Installation and Usage¶

This script is for building a basic tile server with OpenStreetMap data.

For us only on a clean Ubuntu 20 install.

Be sure to review the “Using SSL” section below if you plan to enable SSL.

Installation¶

Step 1: Get opentileserver.sh script from GitHub:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AcuGIS/OpenTileServer/master/opentileserver-ubuntu-20.sh

Step 2: Make it executable:

$ chmod 755 opentileserver-ubuntu-20.sh

Step 3 (for non-Latin alphabet)

If using a non-Latin alphabet, ucomment line 24 below if needed:

$ export LC_ALL=C

Step 4: Run the script:

$ ./opentileserver-ubuntu-20.sh  [web|ssl] [bright|carto] pbf_url

Options¶

[web|ssl]: 'web' for http and 'ssl' for https
[bright|carto]: 'carto' for openstreetmap-carto or 'bright' for openstreetmap-bright
pbf_url: Complete PBF url from GeoFabrik (or other source)

Examples¶

Load Delaware data with openstreetmap-carto style and no SSL:

$ ./opentileserver-ubuntu-20.sh web carto http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/delaware-latest.osm.pbf

Load Bulgaria data with openstreetmap-bright style and SSL:

$ ./opentileserver-ubuntu-20.sh http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/bulgaria-latest.osm.pbf bright

Load South America data with openstreetmap-carto style and SSL:

$ ./opentileserver-ubuntu-20.sh ssl carto http://download.geofabrik.de/south-america-latest.osm.pbf

Using SSL¶

If you select the ssl option and wish to use LetsEncrypt, be sure to do the following:

Check hostname is set properly. You can set the hostname using hostnamectl as below:
```
hostnamectl set-hostname domain.com
```
Run the script, which will provision a dummy SSL certificate.
Once script completes, enable Python Certbot Apache plugin:
```
apt-get -y install python3-certbot-apache
```

Request a certificate using below:

certbot --apache --agree-tos --email hostmaster@domain.com --no-eff-email -d domain.com

select the option “2: Redirect - Make all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access”:
Restart Apache

Welcome Page¶

Once installation completes, navigate to the IP or hostname of your server.

You should see a page as below:

Click on both the OpenLayer and Leaflet Examples and check your installation is rendering

Note: Zoom is automatically set on the leaflet demo application. On the OpenLayers demo application you will need to zoom to the area.
