Step 1 - Prepare Your System
Before installing OpenStreetMap, make sure that your system is up-to-date with the latest versions of all packages. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Step 2 - Install Required Dependencies
To get started with installing OpenStreetMap, you need to install some dependencies on your system. Run the following command to install these dependencies:
sudo dnf install -y wget unzip
Step 3 - Download OpenStreetMap
Go to the OpenStreetMap website and download the latest version of the OpenStreetMap application for your system.
wget https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/archive/master.zip
Step 4 - Extract the OpenStreetMap Archive
Once the download is complete, extract the OpenStreetMap archive using the following command:
unzip master.zip
Step 5 – Install the Required Gems
Before starting the installation of OpenStreetMap, we need to install a few gems to make it work. Run the following command to install the required gems:
sudo dnf install -y ruby rubygems
sudo gem install bundler pg
Step 6 - Configure Database
Next, we need to create a new database for OpenStreetMap. Run the following command to create the database:
sudo -u postgres createuser -s osm
sudo -u postgres createdb -O osm gis
Step 7 - Install OpenStreetMap
Change to the OpenStreetMap directory that you extracted in step 4.
cd openstreetmap-website-master
Next, install the OpenStreetMap application using the following command:
bundle install --deployment --without development test
Step 8 - Configure OpenStreetMap
Before running OpenStreetMap, we need to configure it. To do this, copy the default configuration file and edit it with the following commands:
cp config/example.application.yml config/application.yml
nano config/application.yml
Change the following properties in the configuration file:
username: osm # The username to run OpenStreetMap under
host: 0.0.0.0 # The IP address to bind to to allow external connections
database: gis # The database name created in step 6
Step 9 - Start OpenStreetMap
Finally, we can start the OpenStreetMap server by running the following command:
sudo bundle exec rails server -b 0.0.0.0
You can now access OpenStreetMap in your web browser by entering your server's IP address or hostname followed by ":3000" (e.g. http://your-server-ip:3000/).
That’s all! You have successfully installed OpenStreetMap on your Fedora CoreOS Latest system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
