README.md
FacilMap is an online map that aims to bring together many useful functions in a usable and pretty way onto an open-source map based on OpenStreetMap. Features include:
- Different map styles: OpenMapSurfer, Mapnik, OpenCycleMap, Hike & Bike map.
- Public Transportation and hillshading overlays.
- Search and calculate routes. Routes are fully draggable. (Uses Nominatim, Mapbox, OSRM.)
- Show GPX/KML/OSM/GeoJSON files on the map (use
Tools
→Import File
, type a URL into the search field, or simply drag and drop a file onto the map) - Show additional information about places (for example opening hours or a link to the website). Press the map for 1 second somewhere to show information about what is there. (Uses Nominatim.)
- Zoom to the location of your device and follow it. (Uses leaflet-locatecontrol.)
- Create a collaborative map under a custom link where you and others can add markers, draw lines, save routes and
import GPX/KML/OSM/GeoJSON files
- Every map has two links, a read-only one and one where it can be edited. Everyone who has the link can access the map (similar to Etherpad, just for maps).
- Live collaboration. All changes to the map are immediately visible to everyone who is looking at it (using socket.io.
- Markers and lines can have a name and description, which will be visible in a popup when clicking on it.
- Custom types of markers and lines can be defined, where in addition to the name and description, more text fields, dropdowns and checkboxes can be added to be filled out. Custom dropdown fields can modify the style (colour and width) of the markers and lines automatically, and a legend is generated automatically to explain what the different styles stand for.
- The current map view can be saved for others to open.
- Can be easily run on your server or embedded into your website (see below).
On the client side, FacilMap relies heavily on AngularJS, Leaflet and Bootstrap. On the server side, it uses https://nodejs.org/, Sequelize and socket.io.
Embedding into a website
Using an iframe
It is perfectly fine to embed a map from facilmap.org into an iframe.
<iframe style="height: 500px; width: 100%; border: none;" src="https://facilmap.org/mymap"></iframe>
Directly into a page
Include all.js
and all.css
(which includes all
dependencies) or app.js
and app.css
(if you want
to include the dependencies yourself, see bower.json
) into you page. If you want to build those files
yourself, check out this repository, run npm run build
and find them in frontend/build/
.
Now include socket.io
, and, if you want to use a different server than https://facilmap.org/
, set the server URL:
<script src="https://facilmap.org/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
FacilPad.SERVER = "https://facilmap.org/";
</script>
Now, if your page uses angular, simply add the facilmap
module as a dependency to your application:
angular.module("myapp", [ "facilmap" ]);
Otherwise, add the ng-app
attribute to your html
element:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="facilmap">
Now, anywhere on your page, you can add a facilmap
element:
<facilmap id="map" fm-map-id="mymap"></facilmap>
fm-map-id
is the map ID as it would appear on https://facilmap.org/
mymap
. It can be a read-only or read-write ID.
Running the server
Using docker
FacilMap is available as facilmap/facilmap2
on Docker Hub. Here is
an example docker-compose.yml
:
facilmap:
image: facilmap/facilmap2
ports:
- 8080
external_links:
- mysql_mysql_1
environment:
USER_AGENT: My FacilMap (https://facilmap.example.org/, facilmap@example.org)
DB_TYPE: mysql
DB_HOST: mysql_mysql_1
DB_NAME: facilmap
DB_USER: facilmap
DB_PASSWORD: password
restart: on-failure
Or the same using docker create
:
docker create --link=mysql_mysql_1 -p 8080 --name=facilmap -e "USER_AGENT=My FacilMap (https://facilmap.example.org/, facilmap@example.org)" -e DB_TYPE=mysql -e DB_HOST=mysql_mysql_1 -e DB_NAME=facilmap -e DB_USER=facilmap -e DB_PASSWORD=facilmap --restart on-failure facilmap/facilmap2
See below for the available config options.
Both the FacilMap server and the frontend will be available via HTTP on port 8080
. It is recommended to use a reverse
proxy, such as rankenstein/https-proxy-letsencrypt
,
to make it available over HTTPS.
Standalone
To run the FacilMap server by hand, follow the following steps:
- Make sure that you have a recent version of Node.js and a database (MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server) set up. (Note that only MySQL has been tested so far.)
- Check out this repository (
git clone https://github.com/FacilMap/facilmap2.git
) - Customise
config.js
(see options below) - Run
npm install mysql
,npm install pg
,npm install sqlite3
, ornpm install tedious
(for MSSQL), depending on which database you want to use. - Run
npm start
Config
The config can be set either by using environment variables (useful for docker) or by editing config.js
.
