Hola,
After nearly two years of editing OpenStreetMap with as much knowledge as I know about Greater London, I hope to extend my map editing skills to map a fictional country that I have been thinking about for more than five years now.
I do not plan to use OpenGeoFiction to accomplish this because I like to get the benefit of implementing something of my own: I plan to use a recently decommissioned home-made computer at home (it was the last to have a 32-bit OS as it was built in 2009) to be my server to host my fictional maps. This would mean that I would have to create my own OSM-based platform to serve and host my maps, and it would be great if I can get some advice on how to create an OSM-fork for my own maps.
My specific requirements include the need to be able to edit my maps through the JOSM application, because I do not want to have to open the whole world just to add a new building or road that I thought of the night before. I do not require Potlatch or iD for my server, but I’d like to install a couple of extra stylesheets in addition to the standard style to show off my public transport system lines. Finally, my project only covers the equivalent to a part of South East Europe, so I don’t need a whole-planet file. As the server will not operate 24 hours a day the server needs to be able to run on startup.
I started this topic because while I have already looked around for instructions to set up a simple tile server, I think there may be specific instructions to realise my project which is probably a lot more than just a tile server (especially with the JOSM capability): obviously, I wish to avoid making the mistakes that waste my time.
These are the specifications of my spare computer:
Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Processor: Intel Core i7 920, 2.67 GHz over 4 physical CPUs
Memory: 6144 MB RAM
Disk spaces and roles:
- One 500 GB Drive for holding the operating system:
- One 1.5 TB Drive for holding the production database and tiles, mounted on Ubuntu as at “/onm”, and the web root also being “/onm”
Thanks in advance.
