TileStache

run a TileStache server on Debian or Ubuntu

Prepare environment

apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:developmentseed/mapbox
apt-get update
apt-get install libmapnik
apt-get install python-mapnik
apt-get install python-setuptools
easy_install pip
pip install virtualenvwrapper
export WORKON_HOME=~/.Envs
mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

You might have to remove libmapnik-dev and mapnik-utils first:

apt-get remove libmapnik-dev mapnik-utils

You might want to add the virtualenvwrapper WORKON_HOME environment variable to your .bashrc

Install TileStache

mkvirtualenv tilestache
toggleglobalsitepackages
pip install -r requirements.txt
utils/start_gunicorn.sh

This assumes you have TileStache config file stored in conf/objecten.cfg. Ttilestache should be running on 0.0.0.0 on port 9000. TileStache config is stored in conf, mapnik XML styles are stored in conf/styles/

TODO

• Config templates
• Mapnik style templates
• Provisioning (ansible, puppet?)
