uMap project

About

uMap lets you create maps with OpenStreetMap layers in a minute and embed them in your site. Because we think that the more OSM will be used, the more OSM will be ''cured''. It uses django-leaflet-storage and Leaflet.Storage, built on top of Django and Leaflet.

Quickstart

Create a geo aware database. See Geodjango doc for backend installation.

Create a virtual environment

virtualenv umap
source umap/bin/activate

Install dependencies and project

cd YOUR_SOURCE_DIR
git clone git@github.com:umap-project/umap.git
cd umap
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Create a default local settings file

cp umap/settings/local.py.sample umap/settings/local.py

Add database connexion informations in local.py, for example

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
        'NAME': 'umap',
    }
}

Add a SECRET_KEY in local.py with a long random secret key

SECRET_KEY = "a long and random secret key that must not be shared"

uMap uses django-social-auth for user authentication. So you will need to configure it according to your needs. For example

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'social_auth.backends.contrib.github.GithubBackend',
    'social_auth.backends.contrib.bitbucket.BitbucketBackend',
    'social_auth.backends.twitter.TwitterBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
GITHUB_APP_ID = 'xxx'
GITHUB_API_SECRET = 'zzz'
BITBUCKET_CONSUMER_KEY = 'xxx'
BITBUCKET_CONSUMER_SECRET = 'zzz'
TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY = "xxx"
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET = "yyy"

Example of callback URL to use for setting up OAuth apps

Adapt the STATIC_ROOT and MEDIA_ROOT to your local environment.

Create the tables

python manage.py migrate

Collect and compress the statics

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py compress

Create a superuser

python manage.py createsuperuser

Add a site object

python manage.py shell
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
Site.objects.create(name='example.com', domain='example.com')

Start the server

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Go to the admin (http://localhost:8000/admin/) and add:

• at least one license
• at least one tile layer

Search

UMap uses Postgresql tsvector for searching. It case your database is big, you may want to add an index. For that, you sould do so:

CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;
CREATE EXTENSION btree_gin;
ALTER FUNCTION unaccent(text) IMMUTABLE;
ALTER FUNCTION to_tsvector(text) IMMUTABLE;
CREATE INDEX search_idx ON leaflet_storage_map USING gin(to_tsvector(unaccent(name)), share_status);

To speep up umap home page rendering on large instance, the following index can be added too (make sure you set the center to your default instance map center):

CREATE INDEX leaflet_storage_map_optim ON leaflet_storage_map (modified_at) WHERE ("leaflet_storage_map"."share_status" = 1 AND ST_Distance("leaflet_storage_map"."center", ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;POINT(2 51)')) > 1000.0);
