This project is aimed to provide a easy way to publish RESTful base map service, support many kinds of datasource, such as MBTile/ArcGISCache/OnlineMaps etc. The application is written in pure ruby, will work fine in Linux.
The main idea to start this project is I need a light-weight Map Server, Then I found "Portable Base Server(https://geopbs.codeplex.com/)", It's a powerful tool and I strongly recommended, but it written in .Net WPF.
version 0.1:
- Support ArcGISCache data
1.Install Sinatra
gem install sinatra
2.Prepare Tiled Data, for example, "/home/data/Natural_Earth"
the directory structure is like this
-Natural_Earth
|-Layers
|-_alllayers
|-Status.gdb
|-conf.cdi
|-Conf.xml
3.Edit the config file "services.yml", for example:
port: 4567
host: 127.0.0.1
services:
natural_earth: /home/data/Natural_Earth
4.Run "ruby app.rb" to start server.
5.In browser, open : "http://127.0.0.1:4567/natural_earth", enjoy.
6.Use Nginx+Unicorn, run "unicorn -c config/unicorn.rb"
