gdal-tippecanoe

This Docker package combines the ogr2ogr tools from GDAL with the Felt version of Tippecanoe and the go-pmtiles tool for geospatial ETLing.

Use this package to extract/convert your geospatial files with ogr2ogr and create an MBTiles file in a single Docker command.

Example

1. Edit the example environment file (postgis.env) with your own values:

PGHOST=postgres
PGUSER=postgres
PGPASSWORD=postgres
PGDATABASE=postgres

2. Edit the example Bash file (download_table.sh) with your table information:

ogr2ogr \
  -f FlatGeoBuf example.fgb \
  PG:"" -sql "SELECT name, the_geom FROM test_table" && \
tippecanoe \
  -zg \
  -o test_table.mbtiles \
  --drop-densest-as-needed \
  example.fgb && \
rm ./example.fgb

echo "Done!"

3. Run ogr2ogr and tippecanoe in Docker:

docker run \
  -v `pwd`:`pwd` \
  -w `pwd` -i -t \
  jimmyrocks/gdaltippe:latest \
  --env-file ./postgis.env \
  bash ./download_table.sh

4. You should now have a file named test_table.mbtiles in your present working directory.
