How to start local ORM on Windows

[vrabcak]

I'm trying to run the local copy of ORM-vector to test some new signal rendering, but I have no success.
Im running Windows 11 with Podman on WSL. I tried also the docker instead of podman with simmilar results.

I'm following the instructions in the SETUP.md

The first problem is that if I put the data into data/data.osm.pbf, the build fails with the message:

building at STEP "COPY filtered/data.osm.pbf /data/data.osm.pbf": checking on sources under "/var/tmp/libpod_builder1387851321/build": copier: stat: "/filtered/data.osm.pbf": no such file or directory

When I put the data to the data/filtered/data.osm.pbf, the import seems to work (at least the import-1 container run finishes successfully).

But just after that the podman compose fails with the error

Error response from daemon: crun: executable file `sleep` not found in $PATH: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found      
Error: executing C:\Users\tomas.tichy\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\docker-compose.exe up --build --watch: exit status 1

When I look into the containers, only the db-1 and the proxy-1 is running, but the api-1 and martin-1 didn't start.

Hi,

This is probably a problem in the Docker Compose file, since some changes recently for #396.

As a workaround, you can try to run with the command

docker compose up --build --watch db import martin proxy api

instead.

The only data file needed is data/data.osm.pbf, it will filter the data for you during the import.

There are some services in the Docker Compose which are not strictly required to run the project.

I will have a look how to fix this permanently.

Will be documented with #729.

Thanks for your message :)

Thank you, running only the necessary containers with

docker compose up --build --watch db import martin proxy api

fixed the problem.

Speaking of Podman... I can't get the local setup to work with Podman anymore, because either Martin isn't generating tiles or the proxy <-> martin connection is failing. :/

I wonder if this "database system was shutdown" message is an issue

actually, the problem is probably this

You have to remove that container to be able to reuse that name: that name is already in use, or use --replace to instruct Podman to do so.

okay, never mind... after huge amount of pain... success

[besentv]

a main problem seems to be that podman compose up martin doesn't start martin actually
