Sequentially Generate Planet Mbtiles Versions Save

Generate vector tiles for the entire planet on relatively low spec hardware.

v3.1.0

1 year ago

Changes over v2:

SINGLE BINARY! Just run it and you'll get some mbtiles to share with your friends.
Reduced memory (and less painful if swap is bled into).
Many more configuration options.
Vastly improved data separation.
Can now use your own pbf files (maybe you have a specific area or historic data you'd like to use?)
Reduced overall data usage by removing requirement to generate interim quadrants of planet data.
Many various developer and misc improvements - ongoing.

Any feedback, bug reports, discussions etc are always welcome! Thank you!

v3.1.0-rc4

1 year ago

Changes from v3.1.0-rc3:

Previous progress detection improvements
Various logging improvements and utilising a progress log.
Git repos stored in user cache dir to prevent unnecessary deletion on system restart.
Version and build control moved to Makefile
Unnecessary folders no longer created in working dir (hangup from older versions).
Much improved container handling and detection of already built containers (even rebuilding with cache is slow so avoiding that if possible).
Various misc QoL for outAsDir.
Some manual garbage collection triggering to attempt to reduce memory usage by some non-zero amount when looping through slices etc.

v3.1.0-rc3

1 year ago

See the README more information.

Tl;dr: Single binary (don't need to clone the repo any more for it to work), many more options / flags, reduced ram required for tile generation stage (also meaning if it has to bleed over into swap for other parts of the programme the performance impact is not as bad as if it happens during tile generation), no longer have to do the full planet, more...

Testing ongoing with various configs over the next week or so.

Expected further improvement on go test and logging to be tidied up before release.

Comments, questions, bug reports etc all welcome :).
