OpenTripPlanner is an open-source multimodal trip planning software that allows users to plan trips using a variety of transportation modes, such as transit, walking, biking, and driving. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OpenTripPlanner on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing OpenTripPlanner, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
You can download OpenTripPlanner from the official website:
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/opentripplanner/otp/1.5.0/otp-1.5.0-shaded.jar
OpenTripPlanner requires a PostgreSQL database to store data. You can install PostgreSQL using the following command:
pkg install postgresql13-server
Create a new PostgreSQL database by running the following command:
su - postgres
createdb -E UTF8 -O postgres -U postgres opentripplanner
OpenTripPlanner requires GTFS data to provide transit schedules. You can download GTFS data for your area from TransitFeeds.com or Data.Gov. Once you have downloaded the GTFS data, unzip it to a directory on your system.
Create a configuration file for OpenTripPlanner by running the following command:
nano otp.config
Add the following content to the file:
server.port = 8080
server.secure = false
server.baseURL = http://localhost:8080/otp/
otpspider.directory.path = /opentripplanner
otpspider.graph.batchsize = 100
graph.obj_bucket_path = /opentripplanner/obj
router.graphbuilder = org.opentripplanner.graph_builder.gtfs.GraphBuilder
router.graphbuilder.graph_file = gtfs.zip
router.gtfs.feedname = gtfs
router.gtfs.path = gtfs.zip
router.gtfs.agency_id = *
router.gtfs.validate = false
datastore.type = postgres
datastore.postgresql.port = 5432
datastore.postgresql.host = localhost
datastore.postgresql.dbname = opentripplanner
datastore.postgresql.username = postgres
datastore.postgresql.password = [Insert PostgreSQL password here]
Save and exit the file.
Build OpenTripPlanner by running the following command:
mvn -T 1C install -DskipTests
Run OpenTripPlanner by running the following command:
java -Xmx2G -jar target/otp-1.5.0-shaded.jar --server
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/otp/ to access OpenTripPlanner.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenTripPlanner on a FreeBSD Latest system. You can now plan trips using this powerful software.
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!
