In the previous post , we successfully set up a PostgreSQL server with all the necessary configurations for OpenStreetMap data. Now it’s time to take the next step and start building a working tile server. The base overv/openstreetmap-tile-server Docker image is designed to work with a single data source - be it a continent, country, or even a part of a country. While this works well for many use cases, I needed something different: the ability to work with multiple selected countries simultaneously.

This blog post will be about an idea I had recently - something I called “secretive folders”. It’s still fresh in my head, and I haven’t deeply analyzed it yet - that’s what this blog post is for: to take you through such an explorational journey. Idea inception I was thinking about one disadvantage of the current CinodeFS API interface - the current API does not have any method to iterate over folder entries.

In the previous post , I introduced the basic structure of the Cinode Maps Helm chart. This resulted in a simple PostgreSQL installation with default settings. Before it can support Cinode Maps, however, the setup requires slight tweaking. Let me guide you through the changes I made. The source of information The original Cinode Maps generator was built using the overv/openstreetmap-tile-server Docker image. It is a perfect solution to quickly spawn a custom map tiles server as a single “batteries-included” Docker container.

It’s been a while since I published my last post, but it’s time to start writing again. There are many topics about Cinode internals that I’d like to cover but before I do another deep-dive post about cryptography I’d like to start with another topic - Cinode maps. This post starts a series of blog posts about my recent adventures with Cinode maps. Despite some personal challenges I faced in 2024, I was still able to push this project forward a little bit.

Remember Cinobelix, the big guy with an insatiable hunger for data? Let’s kick off this year’s stories with one of his adventures. This isn’t just the first post of the new year; it’s also the inaugural entry in a series where I’ll demonstrate practical examples of working with CinodeFS. Key holder Cinobelix is holding the keys to the Cinode Maps project. Not in the sense that we, humans, tend to use our keys.
