Go Report Card

LOD (Levels of Detail) is a thin map tile proxy with in-memory caching and a
slim authentication backend. It will sit in front of any tile server and will
aggressively cache tiles in memory, optionally storing them in a configured
Redis cluster for faster fetching later. LOD is cluster-aware and uses Redis
message queueing for intra-cluster communication when multiple instances are
deployed together.

LOD is written in Go 1.19 using [fiber](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber). TOML
is used for configuration. Go templates are used for templating. Internal
in-memory caching is built upon the [bigcache](https://github.com/allegro/bigcache)
library by [allegro](https://github.com/allegro).

## Getting Started
Download a build from the releases page or just run:
```bash
$ go install github.com/dechristopher/lod@latest
```

**NOTE: You'll need the GEOS library installed on your system to use some of
LOD's more advanced cache invalidation and priming functionality.**

```bash
Flags:
--conf Path/URL to TOML configuration file. Default: config.toml
--dev Whether to enable developer mode. Default: false
--debug Optional comma separated debug flags. Ex: foo,bar,baz
--help Shows this help menu.
Usage:
lod [--conf config.toml] [--dev]
```

Or just use our Docker image!

You can create your own Dockerfile that adds a `config.toml` from the context
into the config directory, like so:
```Dockerfile
FROM dechristopher/lod:0.9.0
COPY /path/to/your_config.toml /opt/lod_cfg/config.toml
CMD [ "/opt/lod", "--conf", "/opt/lod_cfg/config.toml" ]
```

Alternatively, you can specify something along the same lines with Docker run options:
```bash
$ docker run -v /path/to/lod-config:/opt/lod_config -p 1337:1337 lod --conf /opt/lod_config/config.toml
```

## Core Principles

- Lightweight, parallel, and non-blocking
- Tileserver agnostic (Martin, Tegola, flat file NGINX, etc.)
- Tile format and content agnostic
- Vector ([Mapbox Vector Tiles](https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec)
or [other vector formats](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vector_tiles))
- Raster (PNG/JPG/TIFF)
- And [more](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles)...
- Supports [XYZ (Slippy)](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map_tilenames)
and [TMS](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TMS) tile indexing schemes

## v1.0 Feature Roadmap

- [X] Multi-level caching
- [X] In-memory, tunable LRU cache as first level
- [X] Redis cluster with configurable TTL as second level
- [X] Dynamic query parameters
- [X] Allow configurable query parameters for tile URLs
- [X] Add to cache key for separate caching (osm/4/5/6/{osm_id})
- [X] Configurable header proxying and deletion
- [X] Configurable headers to pull back into proxied responses from LOD
- [X] Configurable headers to delete from proxied responses from LOD
- [X] Configurable headers to inject into upstream tileserver requests
- [X] `Content-Type` and `Content-Encoding` added by default
- [ ] Internal stats tracking
- [X] Hits, misses, hit-rate
- [ ] Tiles per second (load averages)
- [ ] Tile upstream fetch times (avg, 75th, 99th)
- [X] Expose Prometheus endpoint
- [X] Supports multiple configured tileserver proxies
- [X] Separate authentication (bearer tokens and CORS)
- [X] Separate internal cache instances per proxy
- [X] Separate stats tracking
- [ ] Administrative endpoints
- [X] Security via Bearer Token Authorization
- [X] Reload the instance configuration
- [X] Flush the instance caches
- [X] Invalidate a given tile and re-prime it
- [X] Iteratively invalidate all tiles under a given tile (all zoom levels)
- [X] Iteratively prime all tiles under a given tile
- [ ] Cluster-wide operations
- [ ] Flush the instance caches across all instances
- [ ] Invalidate a given tile and re-prime it across the cluster

## Sample Config
A more verbose version of this config actually used for internal testing can be
found at [config.toml.example](config.toml.example) in the root of the repo.

More detailed information about configuring LOD and hardening it for production
use can be found by reading the [source code](config/config.go).

```toml
[instance]
# port to bind to
port = 1337
# admin endpoint bearer token
admin_token = "${ADMIN_TOKEN}" # config supports environment variables

# base proxy configuration
[[proxies]]
# name of this proxy, available at http://lod/{name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.{file_extension}
name = "osm"
# url of the upstream tileserver with template parameters
# for the X, Y, and Z values. These are required.
tile_url = "https://tile.example.com/osm/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf"
# comma-separated list of allowed CORS origins
cors_origins = "https://example.com"
# auth token (?token=XXX) to require for requests to upstream tileserver
access_token = "MyTilesArePrivate"
# headers to pull and cache from the tileserver response
pull_headers = ["X-We-Want-This", "X-This-One-Too"]
# headers to delete from the tileserver response
del_headers = ["X-Get-Rid-Of-Me"]

# proxy cache configuration
[proxies.cache]
# enable in-memory cache
mem_enabled = true
# maximum capacity in MB of the in-memory cache
mem_cap = 100
# Cache TTLs are set using Go's built-in time.ParseDuration
# Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".
# For example: 1h, 5m, 300s, 1000ms, 2h35m, etc.
# in-memory cache TTL
mem_ttl = "1h"
# enable redis cache
redis_enabled = true
# redis tile cache TTL, or "0" for no expiry
redis_ttl = "24h"
# redis connection URL
redis_url = "redis://localhost:6379/0"
# cache key template string, supports parameter names
key_template = "{z}/{x}/{y}"

# headers to inject into upstream tileserver requests
[[proxies.add_headers]]
# name of header to add
name = "Referer"
# value of header to add
value = "https://yoursite.com/"

# Supports many configured proxy instances for caching multiple tileservers
[[proxies]]
name = "another"
# etc.
```

## Additional Configuration

**WARNING**: these are experimental configuration properties. Only change them if you know what you're doing. All are
exposed as environment variables.

```
MAX_ENTRY_SIZE: int
Size in MB of the "entry" that bigcache sizes its internal cache buckets by. Should be about the size of your 90th
percentile tiles.
```
