The Steem World Map (SWM) projet allows any Steem user to add Geolocalisation details into his posts. That location will then be used to display the post on the world map.
SWM is a container base project composed of 3 components:
- Database
- Web server
- Blockchain scanner
SWM only requires a database to run, developpement have been made using MySQL which is currently the only suported database.
The database initialization scripts are available in the SQL/ directory.
The SWM web server allows users to discover posts made all around the world. It also provide a simple way for user to generate the SWM tag to insert in their new posts.
SWM container is based on php (with apache) official image.
The scanner searchs for new TOP level post having the SWM tag. It also search for updates on existing post. In both cases, an update is sent to the web server with the updated informations.
This component will be available in it own repository.
> docker run --name swm-mysql -v /my/own/datadir:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d mysql
The container can be build as follow :
> docker build -t steemworldmap/steemworldmap.com .
This enables the rewrite and mysqli apache2 extensions.
Database details such as host, username, password and database name need to be provided as Environement Variables.
The init.sh script is provided to help you do just that.
Edit the script and fill those 4 values and run the script to start the web server.
export MYSQL_USERNAME=''
export MYSQL_PASSWORD=''
export MYSQL_HOST=''
export MYSQL_DATABASE=''
Then run the script :
./init.sh
Once done, the application will be available locally on port 80.
In order to have some points on the map, a few demo points are available in /data.json and can be loaded by visiting the Update points page.
