Exporting process

[jas-]

I have tried both methods listed on the readme:

------------- Export Map Data to MBtiles ------------- 
./export_mbtiles.sh

------------- Alternative: Load with postile ---------------
postile --cors  --tm2 openmaptiles.tm2source/data.yaml --pghost 127.0.0.1 --pguser [username] --pgpassword [password] --listen [ip] --pgdatabase osm --style style/style.json --fonts fonts/

Are these still valid? I think I am missing some information about this piece. Any help is appreciated.

export_mbtiles.sh should work since that is what i usually use. although this step is pretty picky... its usually where you find if tables are missing because the process will error out if there are.

for postile there are a few steps to make a tm2 source. you can see them in wdb-map-gen/postile.sh. i think you also have to give style to use.

Is there a good source for styles?

I have all the styles I use with tileserver-gl here

https://github.com/acalcutt/wifidb-tileserver-gl/tree/master/tileserver-gl/styles

I think the one I had used with postile was this one, which was the basis for my WDB_OSM style
https://github.com/openmaptiles/osm-bright-gl-style/releases

EDIT: Thinking back I may have used something else, something like this ( https://github.com/Oslandia/postile-openmaptiles ) which has the sources set up for postile

From the older guide on my website, it looks like I used the second link

Serve live from postgresql with postile
1.)Create a TM2 source with the OpenMapTiles yaml/layer files using generate-imposm3
2.)Download the OpenMapTiles style ( https://github.com/openmaptiles/osm-bright-gl-style/releases ) and fonts
3.)Serve with Postile
postile --cors --tm2 openmaptiles.tm2source/data.yaml --pghost 127.0.0.1 --pguser [username] --pgpassword [password] --listen [ip] --pgdatabase osm --style style/style.json --fonts fonts/
