NAME

       tilemaker - Generates vector tiles from OpenStreetMap data

SYNOPSIS

       tilemaker --input input.osm.pbf --output output.mbtiles

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tilemaker command.

       tilemaker  generates  vector  tiles  from  OpenStreetMap planet and diff files without any
       complex stack or need for a database. It uses the schema of OpenMapTiles by  default,  but
       custom vector tiles can be produced by modifying the JSON config (layer config and general
       options) and Lua processing script (mapping OSM tags to vector tile layers/attributes).

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long  options  starting  with
       two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is included below:

       --input
              Source path and file from OpenStreetMap (.osm.pbf).

       --output
              Target  path  for  vector  tiles.  Specify  .mbtiles/.sqlite  to  create an mbtiles
              archive, or a directory to create individual .mvt files.

       --config
              Path to layer and global config file (.json). config.json assumed if not specified.

       --process
              Path to Lua processing script for  processing  tags.  process.lua  assumed  if  not
              specified.

       --store
              Path to the directory to use as a temporary store during processing.  If specified,
              tilemaker uses on-disk storage instead of holding everything in RAM.  Fast  storage
              (e.g. SSD) is strongly recommended.

       --compact
              Reduce  overall  memory usage by assuming nodes are numbered sequentially (requires
              .osm.pbf to be pre-processed with osmium renumber).

       --merge
              Merge with existing .mbtiles/.sqlite file.

       --bbox Bounding box to use if  the  input  file  does  not  set  one  in  the  header  (as
              minlon,minlat,maxlon,maxlat).

       --skip-integrity
              Don't enforce checks on all nodes being present in ways.

       --verbose
              Outputs any issues encountered during tile creation.

       --threads
              Number of threads (automatically detected if 0).

       --help Show help message for tilemaker.
