Finally, all services seem to be back in working shape again on the new server.
I don’t really know what went wrong in the first place, or what action actually fixed it, and for now I don’t care and just think about better monitoring instead.

Server outage
Unfortunately a bunch of things have gone wrong last weekend, beginning with a failed attempt to renew the LetsEncrypt certificates.
I had already started to set up a new, faster machine anyway, but getting that ready to fully replace the old one didn’t work out that well either yet.
Secondary services, like this blog, are working now, but the web frontend to the MapOSMatic instance is still playing tricks on me, with each page request taking almost exactly 1 minute 52 seconds.
Hopefully I’ll be able to get things running again by tomorrow before leaving for FOSDEM.
PS: there was no data loss, the rendered results for all map requets filed since christmas are still available and can be retrieved if you are patiend enough.
Things to come …
There haven’t been any visible changes since FrOScon, so I want to give a quick update on things I’m currently planing or actually working on.
My main focus right now is on improving the GPX track overlay feature,
Map Scalebar Overlay
It is now possible to add a scale bar to rendered maps on my MapOSMatic instance:
This is implemented as an optional overlay, and currently the last option in the overlay selection list.
Surveillance overlay updates
I’ve finally shown the surveillance overlay some love again, the render style should now be up to date with the original Surveillance under Surveillance online map style.
Changes include:
- correctly calculate camera viewing ranges independent of zoom level
- support for new camera symbols for fixed and panning cameras
- some code cleanups
FrOSCon OSGeo- and OpenStreetMap track
FrOSCon is coming up in three weeks from now, and the program is now online.
We’re going to have a full OSGeo & OSM track this year in our own dev room, and I’m going to have three different sessions there:
OSM Awards 2017 nomination
Nominations for the 2017 OSM Awards have been published and voting has started.
I was surprised to learn today that I’ve been nominated as a candidate in the “Core System Awards” category ….
test – please ignore
Yet some more style sheets again …
I found a few more style sheets that were either ready to use or easily adaptable to the osm2pgsql schema:
- “Pencil” by AH Ashton of Mabpox
- “Space station” by Eleanor Lutz of Mabpox
- “Blossom” style by Steffen Kühne
