I heard you like vector tiles...

Hi. I am Hidenori, Lead of the United Nations Vector Tile Toolkit (UNVT) under the Working Group 4 of the United Nations Open GIS Initiative.

I quickly show how to produce and host vector tiles using unvt/kawagoe, a UNVT setup for a scenario-based exercise of the UN-GGIM WG-Disasters Conference 2020 in Tokyo.

Requirements

To follow the following vector tile produce / host process, you need the following computing environment.

1. Docker
2. Ruby (to be more specific, rake)

The process

> git clone https://github.com/un-vector-tile-toolkit/kawagoe
> cd kawagoe 
> rake docker:run
$ cd kawagoe
$ rake produce:lc      # produce vector tiles of land cover data
$ rake build:localhost # build the site for localhost hosting
$ rake host            # run the server locally
# how you can browse http://localhost:9966 to see the web map

Background Document

My UNVT colleague Taro M has a nice slide deck for JICA Training Course for National Surveying and Mapping in 2019.
