Serve maps from MBTiles files using Django

Project description

*django-mbtiles* serve maps from MBTiles files using Django.
It mainly relies on `landez <https://github.com/makinacorpus/landez/>`_.

=======
INSTALL
=======

Last stable version:

::

pip install django-mbtiles


Last development version:

::

pip install -e git+https://github.com/makinacorpus/django-mbtiles.git#egg=django-mbtiles



=====
USAGE
=====

* Add ``mbtilesmap`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``
* Make sure you have ``'django.core.context_processors.static'`` in your `context processors <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#with-a-context-processor>`_

* Include mbtilesmap urls into your project

::

urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
...
url(r'^', include('mbtilesmap.urls', namespace='mb', app_name='mbtilesmap')),
)

* Add the HTML header and call the template tag

::

{% load mbtilesmap_tags %}
...
{% block head %}
{% mbtilesmap_head %}
{{ block.super }}
{% endblock head %}

...
...
{% mbtilesmap filename %}


MBTiles files can be loaded from subfolders with ``MBTILES_ROOT`` setting.

::

{% mbtilesmap filename catalog="subfolder" %}


Example
=======

You can find a working demo project (MBTiles maps browser *livembtiles*)
in the ``example/`` folder of the source tree (see dedicated ``README.rst`` file).


Cache with nginx
================

* Declare a cache zone in the ``http`` section :

::

http {
...
proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx levels=1:2 keys_zone=master:10m inactive=7d max_size=1g;
proxy_temp_path /var/tmp/nginx;
}

Cache name will be ``master``, index will be ``10m``, will last ``7d`` and have a maximum size of ``1g``.

* Serve from cache for a specific location :

::

location @proxy {
...
proxy_cache master;
proxy_cache_key $$scheme$$host$$uri$$is_args$$args;
proxy_cache_valid 200 7d;
proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header;
}

See *example* project's buildout for deployment automation.
