[MapProxy] Generate complete cache from one scale

[Märt Reose]

Hey!

I had a similar task at hand. Which format are your aerials? If its wms, then sorry I cant help you, but if you have access to geotiff files, then you have hope.

Mine were geotiff so I decided to use mapserver to deliver the tiffs and mapproxy to cache the result.

As there were many tiffs I used gdaltindex to create a tileindex. Like: gdaltindex aerials.shp aerials/*.tif

Then created a map file with a layer definition like this:
LAYER
  NAME "aerials"
  STATUS ON
  TILEINDEX "/srv/gis/aerials/aerials.shp"
  TILEITEM "Location"
  TYPE RASTER
END


Longer documentation: http://mapserver.org/input/raster.html
And map file: http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/

It can look like a difficult task if you dont have experience in the field, but actually its quite easy.

My first approach would be to configure a recursive cache configuration. But this seems to me like a huge configuration and I’m not pretty sure how to combine the single caches in a single one for production. Or is there a simpler way?


No, there is no easy way to handle this right now. But it would be a great feature for MapProxy. It would also help for services that only provide maps for higher scale, but not for low scales (overview).
