NGI0 grant for osm2pgsql
The amount of data in OSM is climbing continually, and therefore the memory and disk requirements of osm2pgsql have risen as well. To address this issue we have applied for and won a grant from the NGI0 Commons Fund. In this project we want to reduce the memory and disk usage of osm2pgsql by implementing more efficient storage formats, specifically for “intermediate” data used while processing, often called the “middle”. We are tentatively calling this CODA, the Compact OpenStreetMap Data Archive. This will not only help with resource consumption on the community-run OSM servers, but also enable wider use of OSM data, even on planet-scale, in low-resource environments available to small NGOs or to students. Long-time osm2pgsql developer Jochen Topf will be funded to work on this project for the next year or so. Progress and all the details will be published on the project’s webpage. This project is funded through the NGI0 Commons Fund, a fund established by NLnet with financial support from the European Commission’s Next Generation Internet programme, under the aegis of DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology under grant agreement No 101135429. Additional funding is made available by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).

Vzdávám Overpass API a stahuju OSM data z download.geofabrik.de , abych si je naimportoval do Postgresu osm2pgsql.org 😂

Asi jsem si měl nejdřív přečíst dokumentaci. To asi moje RPi nedá 😂

Osm2pgsql can take quite some time to import OSM data into a database, possibly many hours or even days.

My personal opinion? Not much better when it comes to the quality of the data. Is it easier to download? Maybe? osm2pgsql is a dope tool too. #gischat #geosky

weeklyOSM 830 is out. osm2pgsql 2.3.0, iD 2.41.0, and OpenMapEditor reborn as MapDraw (local-first OSM editor, AGPL). We got a mention of our post on why privacy architecture and billing predictability are the quiet foundations of any routing product.

Loading layers from PostGIS db (populated with osm2pgsql) in QGIS?
I have downloaded some OSM data from geofabrik and used this to create a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database using the osm2pgsql tool: osm2pgsql -G -d -U postgres myfile.osm Examining the database in pgAdmin shows everything as I would expect: there are tables for planet_osm_line etc. which all have data including geometry column. However, when I connect to the database from QGIS and attempt to add layers, none of these tables appear in the Data Source Manager|PostGIS dialog. Searching on this site (and comparing with a working PostGIS database that I created using QGIS and some random shape files) led me to suspect that I might need a primary key field in my tables. But adding one with: ALTER TABLE planet_osm_line ADD COLUMN id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY; has not helped. I have also tried running osm2pgsql without the -G flag, changing the name of the geometry column to 'geom' to match what QGIS produced in my working database and changing projection in QGIS to Spherical Mercator (3857) to match the data in the PostGIS database. And I've made sure to name the connection as per the solution here: Why can't I open postgis layers in QGIS? As I'm quite new to all this I suspect I've overlooked something in my usage of either osm2pgsql or QGIS. Could someone point out the error of my ways? In case it's useful, I'm using: * osm2pgsql version 0.96.0 * QGIS 3.4.3-Madeira * PostgreSQL 11.1 * postgis_full_version(): POSTGIS="2.5.1 r17027" [EXTENSION] PGSQL="110" GEOS="3.7.1-CAPI-1.11.1 27a5e771" PROJ="Rel. 5.2.0, September 15th, 2018" GDAL="GDAL 2.3.2, released 2018/09/21" LIBXML="2.9.8" LIBJSON="0.13.1" LIBPROTOBUF="1.3.1" RASTER

Speeding up access to OpenStreetMap vector tiles

Speeding up access to OpenStreetMap vector tiles
Ive been creating and serving web-based maps such as this one for some time. Thats based on raster tiles, and an osm2pgsql database is used to store the data that the tiles are created from, on demand as a request to view a tile is made.

good news for #osm2pgsql
the main user of the tool, namely the #OSM foundation, switched to the new "flex" configuration based on #lua
so the "old" way of configuration can be retired

#osm #openstreetmap

https://osm2pgsql.org/news/2026/04/20/osm-carto-switches-to-flex.html
OSM-Carto switched to flex output
Nearly six years ago we introduced the “flex” output in osm2pgsql version 1.3.0 and then improved it over the years adding more and more functionality. About a month ago OpenStreetMap-Carto, the iconic OSM map style switched to using the “flex” output in version 6.0.0. And now the OSM Foundation has finished their gradual rollout of the new version. So the most important user of osm2pgsql doesn’t need the old “pgsql” output any more. That switch has been eagerly awaited by the osm2pgsql maintainers, because it means we can start planning to retire the old “pgsql” output in earnest. This will allow us to remove a lot of code and simplify other parts of osm2pgsql making it easier to maintain and improve in the long term. We have already marked the “pgsql” output as deprecated with version 2.0.0 released in 2024, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise. The old “pgsql” output will not go away immediately, but it will also not be available forever. If you are still using it, start migrating your styles.
