mapsforgesrv

mapsforgesrv cloned from the MOBAC project:

http://mobac.sourceforge.net/

The MapsforgeSrv is a local webserver providing rendered mapsforge map tiles.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapsforge
The tiles are always rendered on the fly when requested.

The description of this tool you find at the origin page:
https://sourceforge.net/p/mobac/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/tools/MapsforgeSrv/

An example how to use the tile server on client side, you find eg at qmapshack project:
https://github.com/Maproom/qmapshack/wiki/DocBasicsMapDem#mapsforge-maps

Graphical user interface Mapsforge-for-QMapShack between MapsforgeSrv and QMapShack application:
https://github.com/JFritzle/Mapsforge-for-QMapShack
Graphical user interface Mapsforge-for-MyTourbook between MapsforgeSrv and MyTourbook application:
https://github.com/JFritzle/Mapsforge-for-MyTourbook
Graphical user interface Mapsforge-to-Tiles to render tiles with MapsforgeSrv without map application:
https://github.com/JFritzle/Mapsforge-to-Tiles

The ready2use folder is now located in the bin folder:
git\mapsforgesrv\mapsforgesrv\bin
Only one jar containing everything you need.

1. mapsforgesrv-fatjar.jar (branch "master") developed and built with java version 11, needs java version 11 or higher to run
2. mapsforgesrv4java8.jar (branch "java8") developed and built with java version 8, should run on all java starting from version 8

Command parameters:

1.  -p   [port]				TCP port to listen on (default:  8080 is used)
2.  -if  [interface]			Interface to listen on [all,localhost] (default: localhost)
					With "all" its useful to run on a server. raspberry runs nice.
3.  -m   [mapfiles]			Path to the mapfile(s). at least one file is mandatory. comma-separated list of mapsforge map files (.map)
4.  -t   [themefile]			Path to the themefile (default: internal theme)
5.  -s   [style]			When using a themefile, selecting the style, eg "elmt-hiking". (default: themefile's default style)
6.  -o   [overlays]			When using a themefile, enable only overlays of this comma-separated list. override enable attributes inside the themefile (default: default theme overlays)
7.  -l   [language]			Preferred language if supported by map file (ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-2 if an ISO 639-1 code doesn't exist)
8.  -cs  [contrast-stretch]		Stretch contrast [0..254] (default: 0)
9.  -gc  [gamma-correction] 		Gamma correction value [> 0] (default: 1)
10. -hs  [hillshading-algorithm]	Hillshading algorithm and optional parameters [simple,simple(linearity,scale),diffuselight,diffuselight(angle)] (default: no hillshading)
					Parameter defaults: linearity=0.1, scale=0.666, angle=50.
					Note: Hillshading requires to be enabled in themefile too!
11. -hm  [hillshading-magnitude]	Hillshading gray value scaling factor [>= 0] (default: 1))
12. -d   [demfolder]			Folder path containing digital elevation model files [.hgt] for hillshading (default: none)
13. -r   [renderer]			Mapsforge renderer algorithm [database,direct] (default: database)
					Sometimes "direct" giving better results	
14. -sfd [device-scale]			Device scale factor [> 0] (default: 1)
15. -sfu [user-scale]			User scale factor [> 0] (default: 1)
16. -sft [text-scale]			Text scale factor [> 0] (default: 1)
17. -sfs [symbol-scale]			Symbol scale factor [> 0] (default: 1)
18. -sfl [line-scale]			Line scale factor [> 0] (default: 1)
19. -cc  [cache-control]		If set, add Cache-Control header for served tiles. value in seconds, (default: 0 - disabled)
20. -mxq [max-queuesize]		Maximum queue size for waiting & running rendering jobs (default: 256)
21. -mxt [max-thread]			Maximum concurrent threads for rendering job (default: 8)
22. -mit [min-thread]			Minimum pool size for rendering job (default: 0)
23. -idl [idle-timeout]			Maximum thread idle time in milliseconds (default: 0 - disabled)
24. -ct  [connectors]			Comma-separated list of enabled server connector protocol(s) [http11,proxy,h2c] (default: http11)
25. -tms [outofrange_tms]		Url pattern [ex. https://a.tile.openstreetmap.fr/osmfr/{z}/{x}/{y}.png] of an external TMS server used in redirect for out-of-range tiles (default: unset - disabled)
26. -wm  [worldmap]			Append built-in world map (default: undefined)
27. -c   [config]			Config file overriding cmd line parameters (default: none)
28. -h   [help]				Print the help text and exit 

Example:

java -jar mapsforgesrv/bin/jars_ready2use/mapsforgesrv4java8.jar -p 8080 -if all
     -m "path2mapfile1.map, path2mapfile2.map" -t path2themefile.xml -l en -r "direct" 
     -s "elmt-hiking" -o "elmt-mtbs_tracks,elmt-mtb_routes,elmt-mtb_c_routes"
     -cs 32 -gc 0.8 -hs simple(0.1,0.666) -hm 1.2 -d path2demfolder

Example MapsforgeSrv working as hillshading only tile server:

java -jar mapsforgesrv/bin/jars_ready2use/mapsforgesrv4java8.jar -p 8081 -if all
     -m "" -hs simple(0.1,0.666) -hm 1.2 -d path2demfolder

Hillshading tiles with alpha transparency may be used as overlay for any map.

Branches:

1. "java8", when an old java 8 is installed, this branch is to be used for the development.
2. "master", this branch is for development with java version 11.

Building the jar:

There are some gradle tasks. Building the jar is done by:
"copyFatJar2jars_ready2use" builds the jar and copies to "$buildDir/../bin/jars_ready2use/"
