Tile Squirrel

Tile Squirrel is designed to render map tiles in bulk across multiple hosts. Tiles are added to a queue, and then one or more workers can read from the queue and render tiles. RabbitMQ is used for queuing, and tilelive is used for sources and destinations for tiles.

Commands

squirrel.js

This is the tiling worker. It reads from the queue and makes tiles.

Usage: node squirrel.js [options]

Options:
   -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG    Provide a configuration file
   -r MODULE, --require MODULE   Require a specific tilelive module
   -v, --version                 Show version info

A configuration file is required.

add-bbox.js

Add all tiles in a bounding box to the queue. Can work on one or more sources at a time. Tiles are split into groups for queuing.

Usage: node add-bbox.js [sources]... [options]

sources     source names to queue

Options:
   -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG   Provide a configuration file. Configuration file is not needed, but if it is provided sources will be verified to exist in config.
   -z ZOOM, --zoom ZOOM         zoom, can be a single number or a range like 5-10
   -b BBOX, --bbox BBOX         BBOX in W,S,E,N format  [-180,-85.0511287798066,180,85.0511287798066]
   --xSize size                 Max x size of chunks.  [8]
   --ySize size                 Max y size of chunks.  [8]
   -v, --version                Show version info

A zoom, or range of zooms, and one or more sources is required.

add-tile-list.js

Add a list of tiles to the queue. Defaults to reading from STDIN, but can also read from a file.

Usage: node add-tile-list.js [sources]... [options]

sources     source names to queue

Options:
   -d, --dryRun    Dry run. Don't actually add messages to queue.
   -v, --version   Show version info

Read a list of tiles to queue for rendering.

add-tile.js

Add a single tile to the queue.

Usage: node add-tile.js [source] [tile] [options]

source     Source to queue
tile       Tile to queue

Options:
   -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG   Provide a configuration file. Configuration file is not needed, but if it is provided sources will be verified to exist in config.
   -v, --version                Show version info

Queue a single tile

copy-info.js

Copy metadata from a source to a sink

Usage: node copy-info.js [sources]... [options]

sources     source names to queue

Options:
   -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG   Configuration file.
   -v, --version                Show version info

Copy metadata from a source to a sink.

Configuration

Configuration File

The configuration file defines a tilesets, each with a source and a sink.

{
  "topo": {
    "source": "tmsource:///Users/jesse/projects/topo.tm2source",
    "destination": "file:///Users/jesse/working-data/squirrel-tiles?filetype=pbf"
  },
  "osm":{
    "source":"tmsource:///Users/jesse/projects/osm.tm2source",
    "destination":"s3simple://vector-tiles-testing.gaiagps.com/osm/?filetype=pbf"
  }
}

The configuration file aims to be compatible with Tessera.

Environment variables

  • AMPQ_HOST - RabbitMQ host to connect to. Defaults to localhost.
  • AMPQ_TOPIC - RabbitMQ topic to use. Defaults to tiles.
  • UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE - Threadpool size to use. defaults to 4
  • TILESQUIRREL_OPTS - Additional command line arguments.
  • WORKER_COUNT = Number of worker threads to start. Defaults to the number of cpu cores.
