Create Vector MbTile from postgres data #25

asecondwill · 2017-09-20T19:19:54Z

Hello

I want to pull postgres data (with points and lines) from our server and create a vector mbtile. Then merge that with a vector OSM mbtile i have.

Is this a possible usage of Tiler? Any help how to set that up would be great. So far i have got tiler working in docker. Not sure how to create a config file to connect to a remote postgres db.

Thanks, amazing project : )

I believe this is may possible, it's been a while since I've worked on the project but @joykuotw being the C++ wizard he is did some work on getting tile merging directly into Tippecanoe (which Tiler uses as a dependency). Let me have a nose around and get back to you, I may need to update the code somewhat or add a config option.

Thanks guys. It's also the connecting to postgres bit that is a struggle.

hi,
I would like to use our own PostGIS server where we store already bunch of layers.
What I need to do to be able get access to my PostGIS server under Tiler project ?
Like in Tegola webserver You can point to Your PostGIS server and fetch layers directly from Your source.

Thanks in advance,
Tomek Wlazlowski.
