# Martin [![CI](https://github.com/maplibre/martin/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/maplibre/martin/actions) ![Security audit](https://github.com/maplibre/martin/workflows/Security%20audit/badge.svg) [![Docker pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/urbica/martin.svg)](https://hub.docker.com/r/urbica/martin) Martin is a [PostGIS](https://github.com/postgis/postgis) [vector tiles](https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec) server suitable for large databases. Martin is written in [Rust](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust) using [Actix](https://github.com/actix/actix-web) web framework. ![Martin](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maplibre/martin/main/logo.png) - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Installation](#installation) - [Usage](#usage) - [API](#api) - [Using with Mapbox GL JS](#using-with-mapbox-gl-js) - [Using with Leaflet](#using-with-leaflet) - [Using with deck.gl](#using-with-deckgl) - [Table Sources](#table-sources) - [Table Sources List](#table-sources-list) - [Table Source TileJSON](#table-source-tilejson) - [Table Source Tiles](#table-source-tiles) - [Composite Sources](#composite-sources) - [Composite Source TileJSON](#composite-source-tilejson) - [Composite Source Tiles](#composite-source-tiles) - [Function Sources](#function-sources) - [Function Sources List](#function-sources-list) - [Function Source TileJSON](#function-source-tilejson) - [Function Source Tiles](#function-source-tiles) - [Command-line Interface](#command-line-interface) - [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) - [Configuration File](#configuration-file) - [Using with Docker](#using-with-docker) - [Using with Docker Compose](#using-with-docker-compose) - [Using with Nginx](#using-with-nginx) - [Rewriting URLs](#rewriting-urls) - [Caching tiles](#caching-tiles) - [Building from Source](#building-from-source) - [Debugging](#debugging) - [Development](#development) - [Recipes](#recipes) - [Using with DigitalOcean PostgreSQL](#using-with-digitalocean-postgresql) - [Using with Heroku PostgreSQL](#using-with-heroku-postgresql) ## Requirements Martin requires PostGIS >= 2.4.0. ## Installation You can download martin from [Github releases page](https://github.com/maplibre/martin/releases). | Platform | Downloads (latest) | | -------- | ----------------------- | | Linux | [64-bit][rl-linux-tar] | | macOS | [64-bit][rl-macos-tar] | | Windows | [64-bit][rl-winx64-zip] | [rl-linux-tar]: https://github.com/maplibre/martin/releases/latest/download/martin-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz [rl-macos-tar]: https://github.com/maplibre/martin/releases/latest/download/martin-Darwin-x86_64.tar.gz [rl-winx64-zip]: https://github.com/maplibre/martin/releases/latest/download/martin-Windows-x86_64.zip If you are using macOS and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) you can install martin using Homebrew tap. ```shell brew tap urbica/tap brew install martin ``` You can also use [official Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/urbica/martin) ```shell docker run -p 3000:3000 -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost/db urbica/martin ``` ## Usage Martin requires a database connection string. It can be passed as a command-line argument or as a `DATABASE_URL` environment variable. ```shell martin postgres://postgres@localhost/db ``` Martin provides [TileJSON](https://github.com/mapbox/tilejson-spec) endpoint for each [geospatial-enabled](https://postgis.net/docs/postgis_usage.html#geometry_columns) table in your database. ## API When started, martin will go through all spatial tables and functions with an appropriate signature in the database. These tables and functions will be available as the HTTP endpoints, which you can use to query Mapbox vector tiles. | Method | URL | Description | | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | `GET` | `/index.json` | [Table Sources List](#table-sources-list) | | `GET` | `/{schema_name}.{table_name}.json` | [Table Source TileJSON](#table-source-tilejson) | | `GET` | `/{schema_name}.{table_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` | [Table Source Tiles](#table-source-tiles) | | `GET` | `/{schema_name1}.{table_name1},...,{schema_nameN}.{table_nameN}.json` | [Composite Source TileJSON](#composite-source-tilejson) | | `GET` | `/{schema_name1}.{table_name1},...,{schema_nameN}.{table_nameN}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` | [Composite Source Tiles](#composite-source-tiles) | | `GET` | `/rpc/index.json` | [Function Sources List](#function-sources-list) | | `GET` | `/rpc/{schema_name}.{function_name}.json` | [Function Source TileJSON](#function-source-tilejson) | | `GET` | `/rpc/{schema_name}.{function_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` | [Function Source Tiles](#function-source-tiles) | | `GET` | `/healthz` | Martin server health check: returns `200 OK` | ## Using with Mapbox GL JS [Mapbox GL JS](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js) is a JavaScript library for interactive, customizable vector maps on the web. It takes map styles that conform to the [Mapbox Style Specification](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec), applies them to vector tiles that conform to the [Mapbox Vector Tile Specification](https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec), and renders them using WebGL. You can add a layer to the map and specify martin TileJSON endpoint as a vector source URL. You should also specify a `source-layer` property. For [Table Sources](#table-sources) it is `{schema_name}.{table_name}` by default. ```js map.addLayer({ id: 'public.points', type: 'circle', source: { type: 'vector', url: 'http://localhost:3000/public.points.json' }, 'source-layer': 'public.points', paint: { 'circle-color': 'red' } }); ``` You can also combine multiple tables into one source with [Composite Sources](#composite-sources). Each [Table Source](#table-sources) in Composite Source can be accessed with its `{schema_name}.{table_name}` as a `source-layer` property. ```js map.addSource('points', { type: 'vector', url: `http://0.0.0.0:3000/public.points1,public.points2.json` }); map.addLayer({ id: 'red_points', type: 'circle', source: 'points', 'source-layer': 'public.points1', paint: { 'circle-color': 'red' } }); map.addLayer({ id: 'blue_points', type: 'circle', source: 'points', 'source-layer': 'public.points2', paint: { 'circle-color': 'blue' } }); ``` ## Using with MapLibre [MapLibre](https://maplibre.org/projects/maplibre-gl-js/) is an Open-source JavaScript library for publishing maps on your websites. Originated as an open-source fork of [mapbox-gl-js](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gljs), [MapLibre](https://maplibre.org/projects/maplibre-gl-js/) is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the Mapbox’s version with additional functionality. Generally There is no big difference between MapLibre and [mapbox-gl-js](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gljs) when cooperating with Martin. ```js map.addSource('rpc', { type: 'vector', url: `http://localhost:3000/rpc/public.function_source.json` }); map.addLayer({ id: 'points', type: 'circle', source: 'rpc', 'source-layer': 'public.function_source', paint: { 'circle-color': 'blue' } }); ``` ## Using with Leaflet [Leaflet](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet) is the leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. You can add vector tiles using [Leaflet.VectorGrid](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.VectorGrid) plugin. You must initialize a [VectorGrid.Protobuf](https://leaflet.github.io/Leaflet.VectorGrid/vectorgrid-api-docs.html#vectorgrid-protobuf) with a URL template, just like in L.TileLayers. The difference is that you should define the styling for all the features. ```js L.vectorGrid .protobuf('http://localhost:3000/public.points/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf', { vectorTileLayerStyles: { 'public.points': { color: 'red', fill: true } } }) .addTo(map); ``` ## Using with deck.gl [deck.gl](https://deck.gl/) is a WebGL-powered framework for visual exploratory data analysis of large datasets. You can add vector tiles using [MVTLayer](https://deck.gl/docs/api-reference/geo-layers/mvt-layer). MVTLayer `data` property defines the remote data for the MVT layer. It can be - `String`: Either a URL template or a [TileJSON](https://github.com/mapbox/tilejson-spec) URL. - `Array`: an array of URL templates. It allows to balance the requests across different tile endpoints. For example, if you define an array with 4 urls and 16 tiles need to be loaded, each endpoint is responsible to server 16/4 tiles. - `JSON`: A valid [TileJSON object](https://github.com/mapbox/tilejson-spec/tree/master/2.2.0). ```js const pointsLayer = new MVTLayer({ data: 'http://localhost:3000/public.points.json', // 'http://localhost:3000/public.table_source/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf' pointRadiusUnits: 'pixels', getRadius: 5, getFillColor: [230, 0, 0] }); const deckgl = new DeckGL({ container: 'map', mapStyle: 'https://basemaps.cartocdn.com/gl/dark-matter-gl-style/style.json', initialViewState: { latitude: 0, longitude: 0, zoom: 1 }, layers: [pointsLayer] }); ``` ## Table Sources Table Source is a database table which can be used to query [vector tiles](https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec). When started, martin will go through all spatial tables in the database and build a list of table sources. A table should have at least one geometry column with non-zero SRID. All other table columns will be represented as properties of a vector tile feature. **Note**: In case if there are multiple geometry columns in the table, you can specify the geometry column name in the table source name to access particular geometry in vector tile, e.g. `schema_name.table_name.geometry_column`. ### Table Sources List Table Sources list endpoint is available at `/index.json` ```shell curl localhost:3000/index.json ``` **Note**: if in `watch` mode, this will rescan database for table sources. ### Table Source TileJSON Table Source [TileJSON](https://github.com/mapbox/tilejson-spec) endpoint is available at `/{schema_name}.{table_name}.json`. For example, `points` table in `public` schema will be available at `/public.points.json` ```shell curl localhost:3000/public.points.json ``` In case if you have multiple geometry columns in that table and want to access a particular geometry column in vector tile, you should also specify the geometry column in the table source name ```shell curl localhost:3000/public.points.geom.json ``` ### Table Source Tiles Table Source tiles endpoint is available at `/{schema_name}.{table_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` For example, `points` table in `public` schema will be available at `/public.points/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` ```shell curl localhost:3000/public.points/0/0/0.pbf ``` In case if you have multiple geometry columns in that table and want to access a particular geometry column in vector tile, you should also specify the geometry column in the table source name ```shell curl localhost:3000/public.points.geom/0/0/0.pbf ``` ## Composite Sources Composite Sources allows combining multiple Table Sources into one. Composite Source consists of multiple Table Sources separated by comma `{schema_name1}.{table_name1},...,{schema_nameN}.{table_nameN}` Each [Table Source](#table-sources) in Composite Source can be accessed with its `{schema_name}.{table_name}` as a `source-layer` property. ### Composite Source TileJSON Composite Source [TileJSON](https://github.com/mapbox/tilejson-spec) endpoint is available at `/{schema_name1}.{table_name1},...,{schema_nameN}.{table_nameN}.json`. For example, composite source for `points` and `lines` tables in `public` schema will be available at `/public.points,public.lines.json` ```shell curl localhost:3000/public.points,public.lines.json ``` ### Composite Source Tiles Composite Source tiles endpoint is available at `/{schema_name1}.{table_name1},...,{schema_nameN}.{table_nameN}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` For example, composite source for `points` and `lines` tables in `public` schema will be available at `/public.points,public.lines/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` ```shell curl localhost:3000/public.points,public.lines/0/0/0.pbf ``` ## Function Sources Function Source is a database function which can be used to query [vector tiles](https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec). When started, martin will look for the functions with a suitable signature. A function that takes `z integer`, `x integer`, `y integer`, and `query_params json` and returns `bytea`, can be used as a Function Source. | Argument | Type | Description | | ------------ | ------- | ----------------------- | | z | integer | Tile zoom parameter | | x | integer | Tile x parameter | | y | integer | Tile y parameter | | query_params | json | Query string parameters | **Hint**: You may want to use [TileBBox](https://github.com/mapbox/postgis-vt-util#tilebbox) function to generate bounding-box geometry of the area covered by a tile. For example, if you have a table `public.table_source` in WGS84 (`4326` SRID), then you can use this function as a Function Source: ```sql CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.function_source(z integer, x integer, y integer, query_params json) RETURNS bytea AS $$ DECLARE mvt bytea; BEGIN SELECT INTO mvt ST_AsMVT(tile, 'public.function_source', 4096, 'geom') FROM ( SELECT ST_AsMVTGeom(ST_Transform(ST_CurveToLine(geom), 3857), TileBBox(z, x, y, 3857), 4096, 64, true) AS geom FROM public.table_source WHERE geom && TileBBox(z, x, y, 4326) ) as tile WHERE geom IS NOT NULL; RETURN mvt; END $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE STRICT PARALLEL SAFE; ``` The `query_params` argument is a JSON representation of the tile request query params. For example, if user requested a tile with [urlencoded](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent) params: ```shell curl \ --data-urlencode 'arrayParam=[1, 2, 3]' \ --data-urlencode 'numberParam=42' \ --data-urlencode 'stringParam=value' \ --data-urlencode 'booleanParam=true' \ --data-urlencode 'objectParam={"answer" : 42}' \ --get localhost:3000/rpc/public.function_source/0/0/0.pbf ``` then `query_params` will be parsed as: ```json { "arrayParam": [1, 2, 3], "numberParam": 42, "stringParam": "value", "booleanParam": true, "objectParam": { "answer": 42 } } ``` You can access this params using [json operators](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-json.html): ```sql ...WHERE answer = (query_params->'objectParam'->>'answer')::int; ``` ### Function Sources List Function Sources list endpoint is available at `/rpc/index.json` ```shell curl localhost:3000/rpc/index.json ``` **Note**: if in `watch` mode, this will rescan database for function sources. ### Function Source TileJSON Function Source [TileJSON](https://github.com/mapbox/tilejson-spec) endpoint is available at `/rpc/{schema_name}.{function_name}.json` For example, `points` function in `public` schema will be available at `/rpc/public.points.json` ```shell curl localhost:3000/rpc/public.points.json ``` ### Function Source Tiles Function Source tiles endpoint is available at `/rpc/{schema_name}.{function_name}/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` For example, `points` function in `public` schema will be available at `/rpc/public.points/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` ```shell curl localhost:3000/rpc/public.points/0/0/0.pbf ``` ## Command-line Interface You can configure martin using command-line interface ```shell Usage: martin [options] [] martin -h | --help martin -v | --version Options: -h --help Show this screen. -v --version Show version. --config= Path to config file. --keep-alive= Connection keep alive timeout [default: 75]. --listen-addresses= The socket address to bind [default: 0.0.0.0:3000]. --default-srid= If a spatial table has SRID 0, then this default SRID will be used as a fallback. --pool-size= Maximum connections pool size [default: 20]. --watch Scan for new sources on sources list requests. --workers= Number of web server workers. --ca-root-file= Loads trusted root certificates from a file. The file should contain a sequence of PEM-formatted CA certificates. --danger-accept-invalid-certs Trust invalid certificates. This introduces significant vulnerabilities, and should only be used as a last resort. ``` ## Environment Variables You can also configure martin using environment variables | Environment variable | Example | Description | | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | `DATABASE_URL` | `postgres://postgres@localhost/db` | Postgres database connection | | `WATCH_MODE` | `true` | Scan for new sources on sources list requests | | `CA_ROOT_FILE` | `./ca-certificate.crt` | Loads trusted root certificates from a file | | `DEFAULT_SRID` | `4326` | Fallback SRID | | `DANGER_ACCEPT_INVALID_CERTS` | `false` | Trust invalid certificates | ## Configuration File If you don't want to expose all of your tables and functions, you can list your sources in a configuration file. To start martin with a configuration file you need to pass a path to a file with a `--config` argument. ```shell martin --config config.yaml ``` You can find an example of a configuration file [here](https://github.com/maplibre/martin/blob/main/tests/config.yaml). ```yaml # The socket address to bind [default: 0.0.0.0:3000] listen_addresses: '0.0.0.0:3000' # Database connection string connection_string: 'postgres://postgres@localhost:5432/db' # Maximum connections pool size [default: 20] pool_size: 20 # Connection keep alive timeout [default: 75] keep_alive: 75 # Number of web server workers worker_processes: 8 # If a spatial table has SRID 0, then this default SRID will be used as a fallback default_srid: 4326 # Enable watch mode watch: false # Trust invalid certificates.

For Linux, add the `--net=host` flag to access the `localhost` PostgreSQL service. ```shell docker run \ --net=host \ -p 3000:3000 \ -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost/db \ urbica/martin ``` For macOS, use `host.docker.internal` as hostname to access the `localhost` PostgreSQL service. ```shell docker run \ -p 3000:3000 \ -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@host.docker.internal/db \ urbica/martin ``` For Windows, use `docker.for.win.localhost` as hostname to access the `localhost` PostgreSQL service. ```shell docker run \ -p 3000:3000 \ -e DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@docker.for.win.localhost/db \ urbica/martin ``` ## Using with Docker Compose You can use example [`docker-compose.yml`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maplibre/martin/main/docker-compose.yml) file as a reference ```yml version: '3' services: martin: image: urbica/martin restart: unless-stopped ports: - 3000:3000 environment: - DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:password@db/db depends_on: - db db: image: postgis/postgis:14-3.1-alpine restart: unless-stopped environment: - POSTGRES_DB=db - POSTGRES_USER=postgres - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password volumes: - ./pg_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data ``` First, you need to start `db` service ```shell docker-compose up -d db ``` Then, after `db` service is ready to accept connections, you can start `martin` ```shell docker-compose up -d martin ``` By default, martin will be available at [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/index.json) ## Using with Nginx You can run martin behind Nginx proxy, so you can cache frequently accessed tiles and reduce unnecessary pressure on the database. ```yml version: '3' services: nginx: image: nginx:alpine restart: unless-stopped ports: - 80:80 volumes: - ./cache:/var/cache/nginx - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro depends_on: - martin martin: image: urbica/martin restart: unless-stopped environment: - DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:password@db/db depends_on: - db db: image: postgis/postgis:14-3.1-alpine restart: unless-stopped environment: - POSTGRES_DB=db - POSTGRES_USER=postgres - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password volumes: - ./pg_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data ``` You can find an example Nginx configuration file [here](https://github.com/maplibre/martin/blob/main/nginx.conf). ### Rewriting URLs If you are running martin behind Nginx proxy, you may want to rewrite the request URL to properly handle tile URLs in [TileJSON](#table-source-tilejson) [endpoints](#function-source-tilejson). ```nginx location ~ /tiles/(?.*) { proxy_set_header X-Rewrite-URL $uri; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host:$server_port; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_redirect off; proxy_pass http://martin:3000/$fwd_path$is_args$args; } ``` ### Caching tiles You can also use Nginx to cache tiles. In the example, the maximum cache size is set to 10GB, and caching time is set to 1 hour for responses with codes 200, 204, and 302 and 1 minute for responses with code 404. ```nginx http { ... proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx/ levels=1:2 max_size=10g use_temp_path=off keys_zone=tiles_cache:10m; server { ... location ~ /tiles/(?.*) { proxy_set_header X-Rewrite-URL $uri; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host:$server_port; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_redirect off; proxy_cache tiles_cache; proxy_cache_lock on; proxy_cache_revalidate on; # Set caching time for responses proxy_cache_valid 200 204 302 1h; proxy_cache_valid 404 1m; proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504; add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status; proxy_pass http://martin:3000/$fwd_path$is_args$args; } } } ``` You can find an example Nginx configuration file [here](https://github.com/maplibre/martin/blob/main/nginx.conf). ## Building from Source You can clone the repository and build martin using [cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo) package manager. ```shell git clone git@github.com:maplibre/martin.git cd martin cargo build --release ``` The binary will be available at `./target/release/martin`. ```shell cd ./target/release/ ./martin postgres://postgres@localhost/db ``` ## Debugging Log levels are controlled on a per-module basis, and by default all logging is disabled except for errors. Logging is controlled via the `RUST_LOG` environment variable. The value of this environment variable is a comma-separated list of logging directives. This will enable debug logging for all modules: ```shell export RUST_LOG=debug martin postgres://postgres@localhost/db ``` While this will only enable verbose logging for the `actix_web` module and enable debug logging for the `martin` and `tokio_postgres` modules: ```shell export RUST_LOG=actix_web=info,martin=debug,tokio_postgres=debug martin postgres://postgres@localhost/db ``` ## Development Clone project ```shell git clone git@github.com:maplibre/martin.git cd martin ``` Start `db` service using [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) ```shell docker-compose up -d db ``` Then, after `db` service is ready to accept connections, you can start `martin` with ```shell DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost/db cargo run ``` Open `tests/debug.html` for debugging. By default, martin will be available at [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/index.json) Make your changes, and check if all the tests are running ```shell DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost/db cargo test ``` You can also run benchmarks with ```shell DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost/db cargo bench ``` An HTML report displaying the results of the benchmark will be generated under `target/criterion/report/index.html` ## Recipes ### Using with DigitalOcean PostgreSQL You can use martin with [Managed PostgreSQL from DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/managed-databases-postgresql/) with PostGIS extension First, you need to download the CA certificate and get your cluster connection string from the [dashboard](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/databases). After that, you can use the connection string and the CA certificate to connect to the database ``` martin --ca-root-file ./ca-certificate.crt postgres://user:password@host:port/db?sslmode=require ``` ### Using with Heroku PostgreSQL You can use martin with [Managed PostgreSQL from Heroku](https://www.heroku.com/postgres) with PostGIS extension ``` heroku pg:psql -a APP_NAME -c 'create extension postgis' ``` In order to trust the Heroku certificate, you can disable certificate validation with either `DANGER_ACCEPT_INVALID_CERTS` environment variable ``` DATABASE_URL=$(heroku config:get DATABASE_URL -a APP_NAME) DANGER_ACCEPT_INVALID_CERTS=true martin ``` or `--danger-accept-invalid-certs` command-line argument ``` martin --danger-accept-invalid-certs $(heroku config:get DATABASE_URL -a APP_NAME) ```
