Poracle Middleman

I wasn't satisfied with the way Static Maps and reverse geocoding works in Poracle, so I made this. Everything here is very opiniated. If you agree with my opinion, feel free to use this.

Features

Tileserver Middleman

• Host Static Maps on the Discord CDN
• Replace hardcoded template names with your own names

Reverse Geocoding Middleman

• Use Mapbox with public Nominatim as a fallback
• Produces a hardcoded format: Suburb: Streetname 10, City or if there's no suburb: City: Streetname 10
• Provide your own GeoJSON to overwrite suburb data
• Provide your own GeoJSON with POIs. Format if a POI exists: Suburb POI: Streetname 10, City

Setup

• cp config.example.toml config.toml
• Install Poetry
• poetry install once and then poetry run middleman to start
• You can get the Python executable with poetry env info

Tileserver

• Config should be self-explainatory. tileserver.replace can look something like this:

[tileserver.replace]
"poracle-multi-monster" = "your-template-name"
"poracle-areaoverview" = "your-areoverview"

• In your Poracle config, set this:

{
    "staticProvider": "tileservercache",
    "staticProviderURL": "http://127.0.0.1:3031/tileserver"
}

Geocoding

• suburb_geojson and poi_geojson have to be paths to valid GeoJSON files. You can use the provided files/ directory. Make sure that these GeoJSONs only consist of Polygons that have a name property. If you provide invalid GeoJSONs you'll get an error on start.
• In your Poracle config, set this:

{
    "geocoding": {
        "provider": "nominatim",
        "providerURL": "http://127.0.0.1:3031/geocoder/"
    },
    "locale": {
        "addressFormat": "{{formattedAddress}}"
    }
}

• In your Poracle DTS, you can use {{{addr}}} to get the correct address
