Windshaft-CartoDB
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
NOTE: requires node-0.8.x
|
|
|
|
This is the CartoDB map tiler. It extends Windshaft with some extra
|
|
functionality and custom filters for authentication
|
|
|
|
* reads dbname from subdomain and cartodb redis for pretty tile urls
|
|
* configures windshaft to publish ``cartodb_id`` as the interactivity layer
|
|
* gets the default geometry type from the cartodb redis store
|
|
* allows tiles to be styled individually
|
|
* provides a link to varnish high speed cache
|
|
* provides a infowindow endpoint for windshaft
|
|
* provides a ``map_metadata`` endpoint for windshaft
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
[core]
|
|
- node-0.6.x+
|
|
- PostgreSQL-8.3+
|
|
- PostGIS-1.5.0+
|
|
- Redis 2.2.0+ (http://www.redis.io)
|
|
- Mapnik 2.0 or 2.1
|
|
|
|
[for cache control]
|
|
- CartoDB-SQL-API 1.0.0+
|
|
- CartoDB 0.9.5+ (for ``CDB_QueryTables``)
|
|
- Varnish (https://www.varnish-cache.org)
|
|
|
|
Configure
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Create the config/environments/<env>.js files (there are .example files
|
|
to start from). You can optionally use the ./configure script for this,
|
|
see ```./configure --help``` to see available options.
|
|
|
|
Look at lib/cartodb/server_options.js for more on config
|
|
|
|
Build/install
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To fetch and build all node-based dependencies, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the ```npm install``` step will populate the node_modules/
|
|
directory with modules, some of which being compiled on demand. If you
|
|
happen to have startup errors you may need to force rebuilding those
|
|
modules. At any time just wipe out the node_modules/ directory and run
|
|
```npm install``` again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
node app.js <env>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where <env> is the name of a configuration file under config/environments/.
|
|
|
|
Note that caches are kept in redis. If you're not seeing what you expect
|
|
there may be out-of-sync records in there.
|
