Databases are the cornerstone of most web applications and also act as a central repository for the storage of data.

Using a Docker Compose-Based Python Interpreter in PyCharm

Posted by: Rizky Maulana Nugraha | in Docker, Python | 3 years, 11 months ago | 9 comments

I was involved with different kinds of Django projects in the past. Back then the standard approach of attaching your debug interpreter was by creating a virtual environment in your python project. We debugged using PyCharm at that time. JetBrains generously gave us a free licence to use the whole suite of JetBrains tools as their way of supporting open source projects.

Creating a live, topic specific mirror of OpenStreetMap in PostGIS

Introduction

In this article, we will do a walk-through of creating a live mirror of OSM for a specific country or region and for a specific set of OSM features. For this example, we will fetch all building data for Angola into a PostGIS database, and update that database with new features as they arrive in OSM. Providing an OSM mirror in this way is a powerful tool to pair the power of OSM with the power of QGIS and PostGIS. Now you will be able to do offline analysis of the data in OSM. How does this all work? Here is a little diagram that illustrates the underlying architecture (click for a larger version):

Using a SAMBA/CIFS mount as a docker volume

I preface this article by saying that what I am showing here is probably not best practice and you should test to see if it works reliably for you before taking this route. I should also mention that this is a hacky approach because it breaks our ‘never log on to a server’ rule, so it is not a long-term solution - it is a short-term hack until Hetzner adds a cloud storage offering to their cloud platform.
