Buildmap

========

A GIS workflow pipeline for designing festivals. Buildmap has been

used for [Electromagnetic Field](https://www.emfcamp.org),

[Chaos Computer Club](https://ccc.de), and [IFCAT](https://ifcat.org)

hacker camps in Europe.

Buildmap takes a CAD site plan in DXF format and produces a clean

PostGIS geodatabase as well as a tileserver configuration for rendering

the map on the web. The recommended output format is [Mapbox

Vector Tiles](https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/reference/) via 

[Tegola](https://tegola.io/), for vector rendering with 

[Maplibre GL JS](https://maplibre.org/) or

[OpenLayers](https://openlayers.org/).

Buildmap has an extensible plugin system and [plugins exist](buildmap/plugins)

for power and network planning, statistics, in-browser search,

and translation.

It allows you to visualise complex, multi-layered site plans in a

simple way.

Installation

============

Docker is the preferred deployment method for buildmap as it is quite

sensitive to dependency versions. You can fetch the latest version

with `docker pull ghcr.io/emfcamp/buildmap:latest`.

Source Files

============

You will need at least one `.dxf` file to use as a source.

Web Viewer

==========

You will need a website with a javascript map viewer to view the

generated tiles. Both OpenLayers 3 and Maplibre GL JS work well.

Configuration

=============

You need to create two configuration files - one (local.conf) will contain

the host-specific configuration (paths and database details), the other

(map.conf) will contain the rendering configuration for your map.

Example config files can be found in the [config directory](/config).
