Anyone aware of a set of mapnik alternative stylesheets, or just a wiki page ?

Although that is of cause by far not the only hurdle to set up your own tileserver, one barrier is perhaps the perceived complicated procedure to set up all the elements necessary. Although there are a number of decent howtos already available on the wiki (perhaps even to many, each containing slightly different advice...), it is perhaps still more effort than people want to get into. In the hope to make this process even simpler, I have created a bunch of packages for Ubuntu containing all the necessary software, as well as glue packages to deal with the necessary setup and interaction between the different components. The packages aren't perfect yet, but hopefully sufficiently helpful already to be of use to others who are interested in playing around with their own tileserver. A simple standard tileserver can now be setup in 5 commands in a terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kakrueger/openstreetmap sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-tile wget http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/north-america/us/colorado.osm.pbf osm2pgsql -C 1500 colorado.osm.pbf sudo /etc/init.d/renderd restart At the end you should have a working tileserver based on mod_tile and renderd with the standerd OSM-mapnik stylesheet. You can test it out by opening the installed slippymap at http://localhost/osm/slippymap.html You will of cause want to replace the above lines with the downloading and importing of an extract with the extract you care about. Although for smaller areas hardware requirements aren't too bad, they quickly go up beyond what can be handled by a standard desktop computer. My rough guestimate of what a typical desktop / laptop can handle is about an extract of 100 - 300 Mb (no more than an hours worth of import). This covers most of the US and German states, as well as many of the other less densely mapped countries. If you are more serious about your tileserver, you will need to tune the various configuration settings, but just to play around and for personal use, the default settings should work reasonable. More information can be found on yet another wiki-page...
