Using these slippy maps
This project is usable in several ways:
- Quick - faster to prepare but loads slower into web browser
- Compact - compiled for fast and compact hosting
For both approaches the code must be served via a web server
(loading from filesystem directly into web browser does not work).
Quick
Quick serving is handy during development,
as changes can be tested without building everything.
Prerequisites
Show needed packages,
and install them with APT (i.e. as root):
make list-pkg-code-quick
sudo apt install $ABOVE_PACKAGE_LIST
(or install pkglist-code-minimal for a slightly rough visual result)
Serve
Start a tiny webserver,
and open a web browser at the local address it tells you:
make serve-quick
Compact
Compact serving is optimized for production use,
e.g. on a public host served with Apache.
Code and data gets compiled together,
optimized for the smallest possible size and complexity
for each single concrete map.
Prerequisites
Show needed packages,
and install them with APT (i.e. as root):
make list-pkg-code
sudo apt install $ABOVE_PACKAGE_LIST
Build
To build functional site but skip image fetching:
make build-compact
To build everything, including image fetching:
make
Serve
Start a tiny webserver,
and open a web browser at the local address it tells you:
make serve-quick
For production use,
consider to instead setup e.g. Apache to serve directory.
The directory is fully self-contained
(contain no symlinks to or html links to system-wide code)
so can be copied to an external web hosting provider.
