[DMP 2024]: Setup Map Visualisation Infrastructure

[ChakshuGautam]

Introduction

Integrate OpenStreetMap for India (with only Indian tiles). This integration involves setting up both frontend and server components. OpenLayers will be used as the UI library for rendering tiles, and tileserver-gl will serve the tiles. Additionally, basic searching functionalities for local government bodies, roads, and places of national interest will be implemented. Deployment scripts for large-scale infrastructure will be created, along with comprehensive documentation covering research and learnings.

Openlayers is a UI library that renders tiles. It expects an API server that serves tiles.
tileserver-gl is a server to serve tiles built by the same team behind OSM.

Goals & Mid-Point Milestone

• Frontend - https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers
• Server and Tiles - https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl, Tiles from here - https://data.maptiler.com/downloads/planet/. Download Indian Tiles only.
• Allow basic searching on local govt bodies, roads, and places of national interest.
• Deployment scripts for large scale infra.
• Documentation of all research/learnings.
• Setup a Gitpod with the above for wider contributions (Stretch Goal).

Expected Outcome

A fully integrated OpenStreetMap solution tailored for India, allowing users to access Indian tiles and perform basic searches for local government bodies, roads, and places of national interest. Deployment scripts and comprehensive documentation will facilitate easy deployment and maintenance.

Hey @ChakshuGautam , I have a good knowledge about openStreetMap API as I have used it in build for bharat ONDC project.
You can check the repo : https://github.com/SHANKARA-CODERS/NestONDC

also deployed it in GCP , the deployed link : https://nestondc.el.r.appspot.com/

I want to know how can I contribute to the project and also want to send you the dummy proposal before the final one, so where we can connect to discuss about the project ?

this is my mail: debanjanrick04@gmail.com

Do not ask process related questions about how to apply and who to contact in the above ticket. The only questions allowed are about technical aspects of the project itself. If you want help with the process, you can refer instructions listed on Unstop and any further queries can be taken up on our Discord channel titled DMP queries. Here's a Video Tutorial on how to submit a proposal for a project.

I keep getting this error whenever I try to run the tileserver-gl command :

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1473
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

How do I resolve this ?
