tile server /w cache+proxy

draft

  • at home:
    • fetch an overview tile set of intended sailing area zoomlevels ~1-14 (/w mobac, preconfigured downloads, etc.) and preload cache
  • on board while connected to internet:
    • grab detailed tiles zoom 15-18 of intended approaches/anchorages via web app through proxy and cache
  • under way /wo internet connection:
    • sail using cached tiles
  • aim:
    • keep stress on tile servers low (do NOT download all possible tiles of zoom levels 15-18 at home)
  • drawback:
    • a 'raw' tile store /w deep /{z}/{x}/{y} directory structure might cause trouble on (sd-card driven) rasPIs ...

  • run DEBUG=tileblaster node /usr/lib/node_modules/tileblaster/bin/tileblaster.js or /usr/lib/node_modules/tileblaster/bin/tileblaster.js
  • point your webbrowser to 192.168.2.1:47000/osm/13/4215/2689.png
  • conclusion:
    • fetching tiles online is fast
    • serving tiles from disk is fast
    • tileblaster hangs after short time
    • tileblaster compresses tiles (thus need to compress mobac tile, too)

preload cache /w mobac tilestore

setup signalk's charts plugin

toDo: make cache/proxy a signalK plugin



autologin to public hotspot
