OSM Import into PostGIS

Infrastructure to create a docker based OSM Postgis database to create vector tiles from.

The database is separated from the import process. You can switch out the database container with a existing database.

Import

Run the PostGIS container

Mount the folder where the database data should be stored in and start the database container.

On first startup the container will automatically create a OSM database from the modified PostGIS template containing the additional hstore extension and the postgis-vt-util functions from Mapbox.

docker run --name postgis \
    -v /data/pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
    -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres \
    -e OSM_DB=osm \
    -e OSM_USER=osm \
    -e OSM_PASSWORD=osm \
    -d osm2vectortiles/postgis

Customize OSM database

You can configure the database settings via environment variables.

Env	Default	Description
OSM_DB	osm	Database name
OSM_USER	osm	Database owner
OSM_PASSWORD	osm	Database owner password

More configuration options are supported through the official Postgres Docker image and the mdillon/postgis image.

Env	Default	Description
POSTGRES_USER	osm	Database admin
POSTGRES_PASSWORD	osm	Database admin password
PGDATA	osm	Location of database files

Run the Imposm Import

Mount the import data directory containing the PBF files to import and the imposm cache directory to speed up multiple runs.

You also need to link our previously created postgis database container as db. The container will use a custom mapping.json to import the data into the db database container.

docker run --rm --name imposm \
    -v /data/import:/data/import \
    -v /data/imposm-cache:/data/imposm \
    -t osm2vectortiles/imposm \
    --link postgis:db \
    osm2vectortiles/imposm3

This will take a long time depending on the data you want to import.
