Hi I read up on how to setup a tile server with the least hassle. It is quite a bit involved according to this guide: https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-18-04-lts/
I imagine this could be more fully automated with guix if we find a way to run the pgsql-commands from guile and write the necessary services. We have most of the bits and pieces already but I spotted a few that were missing while reading and thought I would share them here: * mod_tile (apache plugin) https://github.com/openstreetmap/mod_tile * carto (uses npm and node) https://www.npmjs.com/package/carto (7 dependencies - at least 1 with a lot of dependencies (yargs)) * openstreetmap-carto (contain carto-css styles and a lua-script useful for tag-transformation when loading pbf-files into a postgis database with osm2pgsql and get-shapefiles.py a script to download low-zoom country boundaries) https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/ This last one should perhaps be included in our osm2pgsql-package because it is hard to imagine someone using one but not the other. It seems we need a renderd-service also. Thoughts? -- Cheers Swedebugia
