3 After [installing](INSTALL.md) the OpenStreetMap website, you may need to carry out some configuration steps depending on your development tasks.
7 1. [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)
8 2. [Basic Application Configuration](#basic-application-configuration)
9 3. [Database Population](#database-population)
10 4. [User Management](#user-management)
11 5. [OAuth Setup](#oauth-setup)
12 6. [Development Tools](#development-tools)
13 7. [Production Deployment](#production-deployment)
14 8. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
18 Before proceeding with configuration, ensure you have:
19 - Completed the [installation steps](INSTALL.md)
20 - Successfully started the Rails server
21 - Verified the website loads at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
23 ## Basic Application Configuration
25 ### Application Settings
27 Many settings are available in `config/settings.yml`. You can customize your installation of `openstreetmap-website` by overriding these values using `config/settings.local.yml`.
29 ## Database Population
31 Your installation comes with no geographic data loaded. Before adding any data using one of the editors (iD, JOSM etc), you can optionally prepopulate the database using an OSM extract.
33 ### Loading Data with Osmosis (Optional)
36 > This step is entirely optional. You can start using the editors immediately to create new data, or if you prefer to work with existing data, you can import an extract with [Osmosis](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis) and the [`--write-apidb`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--write-apidb_.28--wd.29) task.
38 To import an extract, run:
41 osmosis --read-pbf greater-london-latest.osm.pbf \
42 --write-apidb host="localhost" database="openstreetmap" \
43 user="openstreetmap" password="" validateSchemaVersion="no"
47 > - Loading an apidb database with Osmosis is about **twenty** times slower than loading the equivalent data with osm2pgsql into a rendering database
48 > - [`--log-progress`](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--log-progress_.28--lp.29) may be desirable for status updates
49 > - To be able to edit the data you have loaded, you will need to use this [yet-to-be-written script](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/282)
53 Many features of the website require a user. The following script can get you started:
56 $ bundle exec rails dev:populate
59 This will create two users: `admin` (with administrator privileges) and `mapper` (with normal privileges). For either of them, the password is `password` (feel free to change it).
61 Alternatively, you can create users manually using the web interface at [http://localhost:3000/user/new](http://localhost:3000/user/new). If you go this route, you may need to perform additional user management tasks. At the very least, new users need to be activated in order to sign in. You can do this via the Rails console as follows.
63 ### Managing Users via Rails Console
65 1. **Enter the Rails console:**
67 $ bundle exec rails console
72 >> user = User.find_by(:display_name => "My New User Name")
76 3. **Modify the user as desired:**
78 **Activate/confirm the user:**
84 **Grant moderator role:**
86 >> user.roles.create(:role => "moderator", :granter_id => user.id)
90 **Grant administrator role:**
92 >> user.roles.create(:role => "administrator", :granter_id => user.id)
96 4. **Exit the Rails console:**
103 There are two built-in applications which communicate via the API, and therefore need to be registered as OAuth 2 applications. These are:
105 * **iD** - the web-based editor
106 * **The website itself** - for the Notes functionality
108 If you used the `dev:populate` script to create your initial users, this step should not be necessary.
110 Otherwise, you need to register these applications with *one* of the users you created. After that iD and Notes functionality becomes available to every user of the website.
112 ### Automated OAuth Setup (Recommended)
115 > You can register both applications automatically by running the following rake task:
118 > bundle exec rails oauth:register_apps["My New User Name"]
121 > This task registers the applications with the "My New User Name" user as the owner and saves their keys to `config/settings.local.yml`. When logged in, the owner should be able to see the apps on the OAuth 2 applications page.
123 Alternatively you can register the applications manually, as described in the next section.
125 ### Setting up OAuth for iD
127 1. **Navigate to OAuth applications:**
128 - Go to "[OAuth 2 applications](http://localhost:3000/oauth2/applications)" on the My Account page
130 2. **Register new application:**
131 - Click on "Register new application"
132 - **Name:** "Local iD"
133 - **Redirect URIs:** "http://localhost:3000" (unless you have set up alternatives)
135 3. **Select permissions:**
136 Check boxes for the following:
137 - ✅ 'Read user preferences'
138 - ✅ 'Modify user preferences'
140 - ✅ 'Read private GPS traces'
141 - ✅ 'Upload GPS traces'
144 4. **Configure the application:**
145 - Copy the "Client ID" from the next page
146 - Edit `config/settings.local.yml` in your rails tree
147 - Add the "id_application" configuration with the "Client ID" as the value
148 - Restart your rails server
151 > **Example configuration in `settings.local.yml`:**
154 > default_editor: "id"
155 > # OAuth 2 Client ID for iD
156 > id_application: "Snv…OA0"
159 ### Setting up OAuth for Notes and Changeset Discussions
161 To allow [Notes](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes) and changeset discussions to work:
163 1. **Register OAuth application for the website:**
164 - Go to "[OAuth 2 applications](http://localhost:3000/oauth2/applications)" on the My Account page
165 - Click on "Register new application"
166 - **Name:** "OpenStreetMap Web Site"
167 - **Redirect URIs:** "http://localhost:3000"
169 2. **Select permissions:**
174 3. **Configure the application:**
175 - Copy both the "Client Secret" and "Client ID"
176 - Edit `config/settings.local.yml`
177 - Add both configurations
178 - Restart your rails server
181 > **Example configuration in `settings.local.yml`:**
183 > # OAuth 2 Client ID for the web site
184 > oauth_application: "SGm8QJ6tmoPXEaUPIZzLUmm1iujltYZVWCp9hvGsqXg"
185 > # OAuth 2 Client Secret for the web site
186 > oauth_key: "eRHPm4GtEnw9ovB1Iw7EcCLGtUb66bXbAAspv3aJxlI"
191 ### Viewing Rails Logs
193 Rails has its own log. To inspect the log during development:
196 tail -f log/development.log
201 We use [ActionMailer Previews](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#previewing-and-testing-mailers) to generate previews of the emails sent by the application. Visit [http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers](http://localhost:3000/rails/mailers) to see the list of available previews.
203 ### Maintaining Your Installation
206 > If your installation stops working for some reason:
208 > - **Update gems:** Sometimes the bundle has been updated. Go to your `openstreetmap-website` directory and run:
213 > - **Update Node.js modules:** If Node.js modules have been updated, run:
215 > bundle exec bin/yarn install
218 > - **Run database migrations:** The OSM database schema is changed periodically. To keep up with improvements:
220 > bundle exec rails db:migrate
223 ## Production Deployment
225 If you want to deploy `openstreetmap-website` for production use, you'll need to make several changes:
227 ### Web Server Configuration
230 > Don't use `rails server` in production. Our recommended approach is to use [Phusion Passenger](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/).
232 - Instructions are available for [setting it up with most web servers](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation_and_support#documentation)
233 - Passenger will, by design, use the Production environment and therefore the production database - make sure it contains the appropriate data and user accounts
235 ### Performance Optimizations
238 > **Consider using CGIMap:** The included version of the map call is quite slow and eats a lot of memory. You should consider using [CGIMap](https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap) instead.
240 ### Asset Compilation
242 - **Generate i18n files and precompile assets:**
244 RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec i18n export
245 bundle exec rails assets:precompile
251 > Make sure the web server user as well as the rails user can read, write and create directories in `tmp/`.
253 ### Testing on the OSM Dev Server
255 For example, after developing a patch for `openstreetmap-website`, you might want to demonstrate it to others or ask for comments and testing. To do this you can [set up an instance of openstreetmap-website on the dev server in your user directory](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_the_dev_server#Rails_Applications).
259 If you have problems with your configuration:
261 - **Check the Rails log:** Use `tail -f log/development.log` to see what's happening
262 - **Verify database connectivity:** Ensure PostgreSQL is running and accessible
263 - **Check file permissions:** Make sure the Rails application can read/write necessary files
264 - **Review OAuth settings:** Ensure Client IDs and secrets are correctly configured
268 If you need additional assistance:
269 - **Mailing list:** Ask on the [rails-dev@openstreetmap.org mailing list](https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rails-dev)
270 - **IRC:** Join the [#osm-dev IRC Channel](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IRC)
