NAME

osm2pgsql-replication - osm2pgsql database updater

SYNOPSIS

osm2pgsql-replication [-h] {init,update,status} ...

DESCRIPTION

Update an osm2pgsql database with changes from an OSM replication server.

This tool initialises the updating process by looking at the import file or the newest object in the database. The state is then saved in a table in the database. Subsequent runs download newly available data and apply it to the database.

See the help of the ’init’ and ’update’ command for more information on how to use osm2pgsql-replication.

AVAILABLE COMMANDS

osm2pgsql-replication init

Initialise the replication process.

osm2pgsql-replication update

Download newly available data and apply it to the database.

osm2pgsql-replication status

Print information about the current replication status, optionally as JSON.

COMMAND ’osm2pgsql-replication init’

usage: osm2pgsql-replication init [-h] [-q] [-v] [-d DB] [-U NAME] [-H HOST]
[-P PORT] [-p PREFIX]
[--middle-schema SCHEMA] [--schema SCHEMA]
[--osm-file FILE | --server URL]
[--start-at TIME]

Initialise the replication process.

This function sets the replication service to use and determines from which date to apply updates. You must call this function at least once to set up the replication process. It can safely be called again later to change the replication servers or to roll back the update process and reapply updates.

There are different methods available for initialisation. When no additional parameters are given, the data is initialised from the data in the database. If the data was imported from a file with replication information and the properties table is available (for osm2pgsql >= 1.9) then the replication from the file is used. Otherwise the minutely update service from openstreetmap.org is used as the default replication service. The start date is either taken from the database timestamp (for osm2pgsql >= 1.9) or determined from the newest way in the database by querying the OSM API about its creation date.

The replication service can be changed with the ’--server’ parameter. To use a different start date, add ’--start-at’ with an absolute ISO timestamp (e.g. 2007-08-20T12:21:53Z). When the program determines the start date from the database timestamp or way creation date, then it subtracts another 3 hours by default to ensure that all new changes are available. To change this rollback period, use ’--start-at’ with the number of minutes to rollback. This rollback mode can also be used to force initialisation to use the database date and ignore the date from the replication information in the file.

The initialisation process can also use replication information from an OSM file directly and ignore all other date information. Use the command ’osm2pgsql-replication --osm-file <filename>’ for this.

DEFAULT ARGUMENTS ’osm2pgsql-replication init’

-q, --quiet

Print only error messages

-v, --verbose

DATABASE ARGUMENTS ’osm2pgsql-replication init’

The following arguments can be used to set the connection parameters to the osm2pgsql database. You may also use libpq environment variables to set connection parameters, see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-envars.html. If your database connection requires a password, use a pgpass file, see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-pgpass.html.
-d DB, --database DB

Name of PostgreSQL database to connect to or conninfo string

-U NAME, --username NAME, --user NAME

PostgreSQL user name

-H HOST, --host HOST

Database server host name or socket location

-P PORT, --port PORT

Database server port

-p PREFIX, --prefix PREFIX

Prefix for table names (default ’planet_osm’)

--middle-schema SCHEMA

Name of the schema to store the table for the replication state in

--schema SCHEMA

Name of the schema for the database

REPLICATION SOURCE ARGUMENTS ’osm2pgsql-replication init’

--osm-file FILE

Get replication information from the given file.

--server URL

Use replication server at the given URL

--start-at TIME

Time when to start replication. When an absolute timestamp (in ISO format) is given, it will be used. If a number is given, then replication starts the number of minutes before the known date of the database.

COMMAND ’osm2pgsql-replication update’

usage: osm2pgsql-replication update update [options] [-- param [param ...]]

Download newly available data and apply it to the database.

The data is downloaded in chunks of ’--max-diff-size’ MB. Each chunk is saved in a temporary file and imported with osm2pgsql from there. The temporary file is normally deleted afterwards unless you state an explicit location with ’--diff-file’. Once the database is up to date with the replication source, the update process exits with 0.

Any additional arguments to osm2pgsql need to be given after ’--’. Database and the prefix parameter are handed through to osm2pgsql. They do not need to be repeated. ’--append’ and ’--slim’ will always be added as well.

Use the ’--post-processing’ parameter to execute a script after osm2pgsql has run successfully. If the updates consists of multiple runs because the maximum size of downloaded data was reached, then the script is executed each time that osm2pgsql has run. When the post-processing fails, then the entire update run is considered a failure and the replication information is not updated. That means that when ’update’ is run the next time it will recommence with downloading the diffs again and reapplying them to the database. This is usually safe. The script receives two parameters: the sequence ID and timestamp of the last successful run. The timestamp may be missing in the rare case that the replication service stops responding after the updates have been downloaded.

OPTIONS ’osm2pgsql-replication update’

--diff-file FILE

File to save changes before they are applied to osm2pgsql.

--max-diff-size MAX_DIFF_SIZE

Maximum data to load in MB (default: 500MB)

--osm2pgsql-cmd OSM2PGSQL_CMD

Path to osm2pgsql command

--post-processing SCRIPT

Post-processing script to run after each execution of osm2pgsql.

Sample output:

2021-08-17 15:20:28 [INFO]: Using replication service ’https://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/minute’, which is at sequence 4675115 ( 2021-08-17T13:19:43Z )
2021-08-17 15:20:28 [INFO]: Replication server’s most recent data is <1 minute old
2021-08-17 15:20:28 [INFO]: Local database is 8288 sequences behind the server, i.e. 5 day(s) 20 hour(s) 58 minute(s)
2021-08-17 15:20:28 [INFO]: Local database’s most recent data is 5 day(s) 20 hour(s) 59 minute(s) old

With the ’--json’ option, the status is printed as a json object.

{
"server": {
"base_url": "https://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/minute",
"sequence": 4675116,
"timestamp": "2021-08-17T13:20:43Z",

"timestamp": "2021-08-11T16:21:09Z",
"age_sec": 507601

"status": 0
}

’status’ is 0 if there were no problems getting the status. 1 & 2 for improperly set up replication. 3 for network issues. If status is greater 0, then the ’error’ key is an error message (as string). ’status’ is used as the exit code.

’server’ is the replication server’s current status. ’sequence’ is its sequence number, ’timestamp’ the time of that, and ’age_sec’ the age of the data in seconds.

’local’ is the status of your server.
