import_osm

Import osm (OpenStreetMap files)

This command is only using for testing the converting logic from Open Street Map files into a Postgres database.

Usage

To import a OpenStreetMap file (osm), use::

$ docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django python manage.py import_osm --clear_mapnik_db --planet /osm-files/osm-file.osm.bz2 --cache 100000

This command will import an osm file into mapnik tables.

Optional parameters

--clear_mapnik_db Clear mapnik (osm2pgsql) data & tile cache

--cache [CACHE] Amount of object which will be handle at once!

--cache2file Cache osmium extraction into a file instead of memory

--planet [PLANET] Path to the planet file.

Get osm file

To download an osm file for a region like germany, use https://www.geofabrik.de/

To import the complete planet go to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Planet.osm and choose a mirror.

The osm file should be downloaded into ../osm-files/, in the docker enviroment the folder ../osm-files/ will be mounted on /osm-files/. So to import the file ../osm-files/germany-latest.osm.bz2 use::

$ docker-compose -f local.yml run --rm django python manage.py import_osm --planet /osm-files/germany-latest.osm.bz2

Because the importer is based on osmium, the file can be compressed with bz2 and pbf.
