osmgwc | step tutorial to create a geowebcache layer | Map library

osmgwc is a CSS library typically used in Geo, Map, Docker applications. osmgwc has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Osmgwc is a step-by-step tutorial of how to create a fast cached WMS layer which will hopefully look similar to Google Maps' design. The main difference is that it will be based on the free and open source OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, stored in a PostGIS database and served with GeoServer. Another difference is that it will be stored in the spatial reference system (SRS) of your choice. If you follow the steps below, you will download OSM data, create an empty database, populate it with geodata in the desired SRS, then split the data into different tables (settlements, rivers etc.), add them as layers in GeoServer, style them with CSS styles, create a combined layer group, define a grid for your SRS, then finally publish a cached layer. In this tutorial the data for Hungary will be used. The size of this country's OSM data requires reasonable time to process.
