VTS Backend

VTS Backend is a convenience package for simple installation and configuration of all VTS backend components.

How it works

Installing VTS Backend takes care of:

• installing, configuring and running (through init-scripts) of VTS Mapproxy <mapproxy> and VTSD <vtsd>
• installing all commandline tools <cmdline-tools>
• installing VTS Registry <vts-registry>
• setting up caching reverse-proxy listening at localhost:8070
• creates storage for every reference frame <reference-frame> in VTS Registry

Once installed, URL localhost:8070/mapproxy/ points to mapproxy upstream, therefore mapproxy resources (see mapproxy reference <mapproxy-howitworks>) are served from :

localhost:8070/mapproxy/<reference-frame>/<resource-type>/<resource-group>/<resource-id>/

. Similarly, URL localhost:8070/store/ points to VTSD upstream which supports directory listing allowing to browse to particular storage <storage>, tileset <tileset> or storage view <storage-view>.
