Running a full valhalla demo entirely self hosted!

Must have docker and docker compose installed.

The configuration for PostgreSQL has been tuned for a machine with 16 cores and 128 GB RAM. These config files should be adjusted if you are running this on a smaller machine.

See the osm2pgsql docs for more information on how to adjust this config.

git clone git@github.com:wcedmisten/valhalla-app.git
cd valhalla-app
git checkout self-hosted
cd ..

docker compose build

mkdir ./osm-pbf
cp /path/to/osm.pbf ./osm-pbf/region.osm.pbf
./import.sh

docker compose up

import-postgresql.conf is used for import. The main difference is that autovacuum is off.

run-postgresql.conf has it turned on. This config is tuned for my machine with 128 GB of RAM and 16 CPUs.

You may want to expand the parameters used to include higher zoom levels. E.g. using -z 2 -Z 8 to pre-render up to level 8. Increasing zoom levels will take exponentionally more time to render and more space to store, but will provide a better experience for the user.

There are also better ways to render zoom levels that don't include ocean tiles that should be used instead.

docker exec -it tile-server bash
sudo -u _renderd render_list -t /data/tiles -a -z 2 -Z 3 -n 16
