NAME
mapproxy-util-autoconfig - creates MapProxy and MapProxy-seeding configurations
SYNOPSIS
mapproxy-util autoconfig [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
mapproxy-util autoconfig creates MapProxy and MapProxy-seeding configurations based on existing WMS capa‐
bilities documents.
It creates a source for each available layer. The source will include a BBOX coverage from the layer ex‐
tent, legendurl for legend graphics, featureinfo for querlyable layers, scale hints and all detected sup‐
ported_srs. It will duplicate the layer tree to the layers section of the MapProxy configuration, in‐
cluding the name, title and abstract.
The tool will create a cache for each source layer and supported_srs if there is a grid configured in
your --base configuration for that SRS.
The MapProxy layers will use the caches when available, otherwise they will use the source directly (cas‐
caded WMS).
Note
The tool can help you to create new configations, but it can’t predict how you will use the Map‐
Proxy services. The generated configuration can be highly inefficient, especially when multiple
layers with separate caches are requested at once. Please make sure you understand the configura‐
tion and check the documentation for more options that are useful for your use-cases.
OPTIONS
--capabilities url|filename
URL or filename of the WMS capabilities document. The tool will add REQUEST and SERVICE parame‐
ters to the URL as necessary.
--output filename
Filename for the created MapProxy configuration.
--output-seed filename
Filename for the created MapProxy-seeding configuration.
--force
Overwrite any existing configuration with the same output filename.
--base filename
Base configuration that should be included in the --output file with the base option.
--overwrite filename, --overwrite-seed filename
YAML configuration that overwrites configuration options before the generated configuration is
written to --output/--output-seed.
EXAMPLE
Print configuration on console:
mapproxy-util autoconfig \
--capabilities http://osm.omniscale.net/proxy/service
Write MapProxy and MapProxy-seeding configuration to files:
mapproxy-util autoconfig \
--capabilities http://osm.omniscale.net/proxy/service \
--output mapproxy.yaml \
--output-seed seed.yaml
Write MapProxy configuration with caches for grids from base.yaml:
mapproxy-util autoconfig \
--capabilities http://osm.omniscale.net/proxy/service \
--output mapproxy.yaml \
--base base.yaml
OVERWRITES
It's likely that you need to tweak the created configuration - e.g. to define another coverage, disable
featureinfo, etc. You can do this by editing the output file of course, or you can modify the output by
defining all changes to an overwrite file. Overwrite files are applied everytime you call mapproxy-util
autoconfig.
Overwrites are YAML files that will be merged with the created configuration file.
The overwrites are applied independently for each services, sources, caches and layers section. That
means, for example, that you can modify the supported_srs of a source and the tool will use the updated
SRS list to decide which caches will be configured for that source.
EXAMPLE
Created configuration:
sources:
mysource_wms:
type: wms
req:
url: http://example.org
layers: a
Overwrite file:
sources:
mysource_wms:
supported_srs: ['EPSG:4326'] # add new value for mysource_wms
req:
layers: a,b # overwrite existing value
custom_param: 42 # new value
Actual configuration written to --output:
sources:
mysource_wms:
type: wms
supported_srs: ['EPSG:4326']
req:
url: http://example.org
layers: a,b
custom_param: 42
SPECIAL KEYS
There are a few special keys that you can use in your overwrite file.
All The value of the __all__ key will be merged into all dictionaries. The following overwrite will
add sessionid to the req options of all sources:
sources:
__all__:
req:
sessionid: 123456789
Extend The values of keys ending with __extend__ will be added to existing lists.
To add another SRS for one source:
sources:
my_wms:
supported_srs__extend__: ['EPSG:31467']
Wildcard
The values of keys starting or ending with three underscores (___) will be merged with values
where the key matches the suffix or prefix.
For example, to set levels for osm_webmercator and aerial_webmercator and to set refresh_before
for osm_webmercator and osm_utm32:
seeds:
____webmercator:
levels:
from: 0
to: 12
osm____:
refresh_before:
