[OHM] access to OHM server for Overpass setup?

[Tim Waters]

Will reply off list with access details to the server :-)

Looking at the documentation it seems that it doesn't depend on any
separate database but does need planet and replication. It doesn't need
much in the way of extra packages.

Planet is coming, waiting on a subdomain and DNS to be sorted. I'm also
requesting an overpass.openhistoricalmap.org subdomain too.  There are
currently minute replications in the file system - details in the wiki.

In terms of resources, there's plenty of disk space to duplicate the OSM db
for Overpass.

On OSM, Overpass lives on an external server, and there are probably good
reasons for this. One of the reasons, I imagine, is to reduce load on the
server. We would have to monitor if running an API and Overpass on the same
machine increases load, which I think it would, but it probably would not
be significant, at present.
However Overpass's main aim is to give an alternative and better read only
API, so I think we would need to watch the disk space, load and server
resources.

At present the project is tiny, so we can stuff things on the one box,
since we also serve tiles and will serve the planet from it. This will of
course change, in time as the project grows. So at present, in my mind,
there's no reason why we shouldn't serve Overpass from the OHM box.

Also of course the server is a production server and so is not suitable for
use as a development server for example logging in and tweaking the code to
add the needed time filters to Overpass, rather it should be a place where
tested software that works locally can be deployed.


Cheers,

Tim
