As an alternative to the online version, the standalone server of BRouter can also be run on your local desktop.
-
download and unzip latest standalone archive (
brouter-web-standalone.<version>.zip
) from https://github.com/nrenner/brouter-web/releases e.g. for Linux (replace~/opt/
with your preferred install directory and0.11.0
with latest version):mkdir -p ~/opt/brouter cd ~/opt/brouter wget https://github.com/nrenner/brouter-web/releases/download/0.11.0/brouter-web-standalone.0.11.0.zip unzip brouter-web-standalone.0.11.0.zip
-
download one or more rd5 data file(s) from the download directory or the grid map into the
segments4
directory
In the brouter-web
subdirectory:
- copy
config.template.js
toconfig.js
- add your API keys (optional)
copykeys.template.js
tokeys.js
and edit to add your keys
- start
./run.sh
brouter-web can be run as a Docker container, making it easy for continous deployment or running locally without having to install any build tools.
The Dockerfile
builds the application inside a NodeJS container and copies the built application into a
separate Nginx based image. The application runs from a webserver only container serving only static files.
- Docker installed
- working directory is this repository
config.template.js
copied toconfig.js
and modified with a Brouter server, seeBR.conf.host
keys.template.js
tokeys.js
and add your API keys- Optionally create
profiles
directory withbrf
profile files and add path toconfig.js
: BR.conf.profilesUrl = 'profiles/';
To build the Docker container run:
docker build -t brouter-web .
This creates a Docker image with the name brouter-web
.
To run the previously build Docker image run:
docker run --rm --name brouter-web \
-p 127.0.0.1:8080:80 \
-v "`pwd`/config.js:/usr/share/nginx/html/config.js" \
-v "`pwd`/keys.js:/usr/share/nginx/html/keys.js" \
-v "`pwd`/profiles:/usr/share/nginx/html/profiles" \
brouter-web
This command does the following:
- Runs a container with the name
brouter-web
and removes it automatically after stopping - Binds port 80 of the container to the host interface 127.0.0.1 on port 8080
- Takes the absolute paths of
config.js
,keys.js
andprofiles
and mounts them inside the container - Uses the image
brouter-web
to run as a container
brouter-web should be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
