= Development guide :toc: :toclevels: 2 == Web app only [source,shell] ---- bundle install bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb ---- Open http://127.0.0.1:4567. For auto-reload during development, run via the `rerun` gem instead: [source,shell] ---- bundle exec rerun -- bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb ---- TIP: Browsers apply heuristic caching to static files even without explicit cache headers, so an edit to `public/` (or `views/`) can appear not to have taken effect on the next reload. Force a real reload (e.g. Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R) if that happens. == Offline map data To enable the offline style, place a PMTiles file at `data/offline.pmtiles` (see `docs/architecture.adoc` for how it is served and styled). Logged-in users can generate this from the app itself — see "In-app regeneration" below — or it can be built by hand: * Extract a region from Protomaps' own daily full-planet basemap build (https://build-metadata.protomaps.dev/builds.json[build index], files at `https://build.protomaps.com/`, ~120GB, ODbL/OSM attribution) with the https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles[go-pmtiles] CLI's `extract` subcommand, which pulls only the byte ranges covering a bbox over HTTP range requests rather than the whole file: `pmtiles extract https://build.protomaps.com/ data/offline.pmtiles --bbox=west,south,east,north --maxzoom=15`. (The old `app.protomaps.com` extract-builder UI this section used to point at has since redirected elsewhere — this is the same underlying mechanism, just the CLI instead of a web UI.) * To convert some other vector tile source (e.g. an `.mbtiles` file) into PMTiles instead, use the same CLI's `convert` subcommand: `pmtiles convert in.mbtiles data/offline.pmtiles`. Its schema is what `protomaps-themes-base` (the styling library used for the offline style) expects. Once the file is in place, `GET /api/offline-tiles` reports `available: true` and the map defaults to the offline style. == Offline terrain data (hillshade) The sidebar's "Terrain shading" toggle works online out of the box (public https://github.com/tilezen/joerd[Terrarium] elevation tiles, no API key). For it to work offline too, place a PMTiles archive of Terrarium-encoded `raster-dem` tiles at `data/terrain.pmtiles` (`GET /api/terrain-tiles` reports `available: true` once it's there, same pattern as offline map data above). Also generatable in-app (see below) or by hand, the same `go-pmtiles extract` mechanism as `data/offline.pmtiles` above — but from https://mapterhorn.com[Mapterhorn], a Protomaps-affiliated project publishing pre-built Terrarium-encoded terrain as PMTiles (a global `planet.pmtiles`, z0-12, plus ~450 regional chunks covering z13 and up — see https://mapterhorn.com/data-access/[their own data-access page] for the full manifest and per-source license/attribution details, CC-BY-4.0 and similar, varying by region): [source,shell] ---- pmtiles extract https://download.mapterhorn.com/planet.pmtiles planet-extract.pmtiles --bbox=west,south,east,north --maxzoom=15 # only if a regional chunk covers the bbox too (see download_urls.json) — # most bboxes hit exactly one, a bbox straddling a chunk boundary hits two: pmtiles extract https://download.mapterhorn.com/.pmtiles chunk-extract.pmtiles --bbox=west,south,east,north --maxzoom=15 pmtiles merge planet-extract.pmtiles chunk-extract.pmtiles data/terrain.pmtiles ---- Tiles are 512px WebP, not the 256px PNG this app's *online* Terrarium source uses — `public/js/dem.js`'s own point-elevation lookups (`shadow.js`'s terrain-shadow overlay) read the actual decoded tile size rather than assuming one, so this isn't a problem either way. == In-app regeneration A logged-in user can also generate both files above from the app itself, no local tooling needed — the sidebar's "Offline data" icon (Offline hub group) shows a checklist of European countries (`lib/maptool/data/europe_countries.geojson`, Natural Earth 110m admin-0, public domain) plus each file's status (size, last updated). Ticking countries and clicking "Apply changes" saves the selection (`data/offline_regions.json`, an array of ISO A2 codes) and rebuilds both files to cover it. There's no standalone per-country file to individually delete — `offline.pmtiles`/`terrain.pmtiles` are always one combined extract for the *whole current selection*. "Remove a country" and "refresh a country" are both just "change the selection, then Apply" (unticking a country and applying rebuilds without it; nothing to separately delete). Every Apply re-extracts the entire selection from scratch, not just what changed — fine given extraction is fast (byte-range requests against remote archives, not per-tile fetches), but worth revisiting if someone selects half of Europe at once and finds it slow. This wraps exactly the manual `go-pmtiles` workflows documented above (`lib/maptool/pmtiles_builder.rb`) — the server needs the https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles[go-pmtiles] CLI installed and on `PATH` (override with the `PMTILES_BIN` env var if it lives somewhere else), using `--region=` (a `FeatureCollection` of the selected countries — go-pmtiles treats multiple features as their union already, no union/dissolve math needed on this side) rather than `--bbox=` for precise, per-country extraction. terrain.pmtiles extracts `planet.pmtiles` (always) plus whichever Mapterhorn regional chunks intersect the selection, `merge`s them if there was more than one — always safe regardless of how many/which countries are selected, since each chunk is Mapterhorn's own pre-partitioned, non-overlapping source file (extracting the *same* source once per country and merging those, by contrast, would fail — adjacent countries' region-extracts share border tiles, since extraction copies whole tiles rather than clipping vector content to the polygon, and `pmtiles merge` refuses any overlapping tile id between inputs). A build runs in the background (`GET /api/offline-regions` to list/see the current selection, `POST` to change it, then `POST /api/offline-tiles/build` / `/api/terrain-tiles/build`, polled via the matching `*/build-status` route) — only one of each kind at a time; starting a second while one's running gets a 409, as does starting either with nothing selected yet. Each successful build also writes a small sidecar (`offline.pmtiles. meta.json` / `terrain.pmtiles.meta.json` — the Protomaps build date used, or the Mapterhorn source names/md5sums) recording what was actually built, since the `.pmtiles` file itself carries no such record. `GET /api/offline-tiles`/`/api/terrain-tiles` include it as `meta`, shown in the panel next to the existing size/updated line. `GET .../check-update` compares that recorded build against the live upstream index/manifest (without rebuilding anything) and reports `update_available: true/false/ null` — `null` means "don't know" (no local build yet, or the upstream check itself failed), kept as its own route rather than folded into the plain status endpoints above since those are on the page-load hot path (the topbar's offline-status dot) and this one reaches an external service, only worth doing when the Offline data panel is actually open. == Camper-relevant POIs (Overpass) `rake overpass:pois[south,west,north,east,out.geojson]` queries https://overpass-api.de[Overpass] for drinking water, dump stations, LPG refill, public toilets, laundromats, supermarkets/convenience stores, and springs within a bbox, and writes the result as a `.geojson` file (`lib/maptool/overpass_pois.rb`). Nodes only (nothing that's mapped as a way/relation, e.g. a supermarket traced as a building outline rather than a single point). Also reachable from inside the running app itself, without the command line — see Import plugins below, which wraps this exact query as `plugins/overpass-pois`. == Import plugins The sidebar's import icon (logged in only) lists whatever's under `plugins/` and runs one for the current map viewport with a click — no area-picker to fill in, the visible area *is* the area. Each plugin is a directory with a `plugin.json` manifest (`{"label": "...", "command": "./run.sh"}`) plus whatever script that command names; the entire interface a plugin needs to know about maptool is "read `--south`/`--west`/`--north`/`--east`, print a GeoJSON `FeatureCollection` to stdout" (`lib/maptool/plugins.rb`) — the result is saved as a new `.geojson` file the same way an upload would be. `plugins/overpass-pois` ships as the reference example (a thin wrapper around the `rake overpass:pois` logic above). A plugin that scrapes a site whose terms of service forbid that — Park4Night, iOverlander, Freecampsites — doesn't have to live in this (public) repo to work here: drop its directory under `plugins/` locally and just don't `git add` it, same as any other local-only file this app already treats that way (`data/offline.pmtiles`, the kiwix ZIM, ...). == Offline Wikipedia (kiwix-serve) A point popup's "Nearby on Wikipedia" link needs https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools[kiwix-serve] running with a Wikipedia https://library.kiwix.org[ZIM] loaded — set `KIWIX_URL` to wherever *the server* can reach it (`docker-compose.yaml` already runs a `kiwix` service pointed at `data/kiwix/wikipedia.zim` and wires `KIWIX_URL` to it via its compose service name; blank/unset disables the link, same as every other optional integration here). Used only server-side: production sits behind a reverse proxy that forwards only to this app, so there's no address a browser could reach kiwix-serve at directly — `GET /kiwix/*` (`app.rb`) proxies to it instead, and the `kiwix` service runs with `--urlRootLocation=/kiwix` so its own emitted links/assets already carry that same prefix. Not part of the repo — a ZIM is a large, self-contained archive, obtain one locally: * https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&category=wikipedia[Kiwix's own library] has pre-built Wikipedia ZIMs — a `_maxi` variant per language/region includes images, `_nopic` is much smaller if browsing images offline doesn't matter here. * Download it to `data/kiwix/wikipedia.zim` (the exact filename `docker-compose.yaml`'s `kiwix` service expects — rename after downloading, Kiwix's own filenames are much more specific). A symlink there works too (`ln -s /wherever/the-real-file.zim data/kiwix/wikipedia.zim`), so the real file doesn't have to sit inside this repo's checkout at all — the compose file's volume binds that exact path, not the `data/kiwix/` directory, specifically so this resolves correctly (a symlink *inside* an already-mounted directory wouldn't: the container would have to resolve it itself, in its own filesystem, where the host path it points to doesn't exist). Once it's there, `docker compose up -d kiwix` (or a full restart) picks it up — `GET /api/kiwix` reports `available: true` and the "Nearby on Wikipedia" link appears, pointed at kiwix-serve's own geo search (`GET /kiwix/search?pattern=&latitude=&longitude=&distance=`) through this app's own proxy rather than at kiwix-serve directly — it already has a full search UI of its own, this just makes it reachable through the same origin/reverse proxy as the rest of the app. == GNSS position (gpsd) The "GNSS" control needs https://gpsd.io[gpsd] running and pointed at a receiver (`gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0`, or whatever device the receiver shows up as). On openSUSE, `gpsd` is a package with systemd units (`gpsd.service` / `gpsd.socket`); on other distributions, check your package manager. No app-side configuration is needed — it just connects to `127.0.0.1:2947`, gpsd's default port. To test without hardware or gpsd itself installed/running, run `bin/gnss_simulator.rb` — it speaks gpsd's own JSON wire protocol directly on gpsd's default port (`127.0.0.1:2947`), so `Maptool::GpsdClient` connects to it exactly as it would to real gpsd, no app-side changes needed. Drives a loop around a center point (Bratislava by default) at a driving-ish pace instead of sitting at a fixed position, since a stationary "GNSS position" isn't much to look at on the map: [source,shell] ---- bin/gnss_simulator.rb # loop around Bratislava, 300m radius bin/gnss_simulator.rb 48.85 2.35 500 # custom center/radius (Paris, 500m) ---- `GET /api/gnss/position` should report a fix within a couple of seconds, moving on every poll. To test against gpsd itself instead (e.g. to exercise the actual NMEA-parsing path, not just gpsd's JSON output), feed it a fake NMEA stream over TCP instead of a real serial device — gpsd accepts a `tcp://host:port` source: [source,shell] ---- # terminal 1: a TCP server repeating one NMEA GGA/RMC sentence pair python3 - <<'PY' 5001 import socket, sys, time def checksum(s): cs = 0 for ch in s: cs ^= ord(ch) return f"{cs:02X}" def sentence(body): return f"${body}*{checksum(body)}\r\n" port = int(sys.argv[1]) srv = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) srv.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) srv.bind(("127.0.0.1", port)) srv.listen(1) conn, _ = srv.accept() gga = "GPGGA,123519,4808.916,N,01706.462,E,1,08,0.9,140.4,M,46.9,M,," rmc = "GPRMC,123519,A,4808.916,N,01706.462,E,000.5,084.4,230824,003.1,W" while True: conn.sendall((sentence(gga) + sentence(rmc)).encode()) time.sleep(1) PY # terminal 2: point gpsd at it instead of a real device gpsd -N -n tcp://127.0.0.1:5001 ---- `GET /api/gnss/position` should then report the fake fix (Bratislava Castle, in the sentences above) within a couple of seconds. == Tests `bundle exec rake test` runs the whole suite (`test/test_*.rb`, Minitest — a default gem, but pinned in the `Gemfile`'s `:test` group for reproducibility, same reasoning as `rake` itself). `test_app.rb` drives `app.rb`'s routes end to end through `Rack::MockRequest` rather than a real server; everything else tests one `lib/maptool/` module in isolation. `MAPTOOL_DATA_DIR` (see `app.rb`) is pointed at a throwaway `Dir.mktmpdir` by `test/test_helper.rb` before `app.rb` loads, so running the suite never touches real `data/` — the app-level tests also wipe that directory between each test (see `AppTestHelper#teardown`), since `GPX_STORE`/`LIVETRACK_STORE` are process-wide constants shared by every test in the run. `LiveTrackClient`'s own tests use a synthetic fixture (no network) — its parsing was checked against real Garmin sessions by hand during development, not by the suite, since that needs a live, unexpired session token to fetch. `Fit`'s tests likewise build a minimal FIT file by hand rather than shipping a real device fixture; correctness against real files (position/altitude fields, definition-message framing, compressed-timestamp headers) was checked by hand against `python-fitparse`'s test fixtures during development — see `docs/architecture.adoc`. == Continuous integration `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` runs on every push/PR against a self-hosted Gitea Actions runner: `ruby -c` on every `.rb` file, a `require_relative "app"` smoke check that the app loads without error, `bundle exec rake test` (see above), and `node --check` on every file under `public/js/` — no JS test suite, just a syntax check. `.gitea/workflows/renovate.yml` runs https://docs.renovatebot.com[Renovate] (the `renovate/renovate` image) weekly (Mondays, also triggerable manually), opening PRs for outdated dependencies (Bundler `Gemfile`/`Gemfile.lock`, auto-detected — no `renovate.json` needed) against this Gitea instance (`RENOVATE_PLATFORM=gitea`). It runs on the native `deploy` runner (see `docs/deployment.adoc`) as a one-shot `docker run`, not a persistent service. Needs a `RENOVATE_TOKEN` repo secret — a Gitea personal access token (*Settings → Applications → Generate New Token*, with repository read/write scope) from whichever account should author the PRs; `RENOVATE_ONBOARDING=false` skips Renovate's usual first-PR "configure me" step and goes straight to dependency update PRs using its defaults.
