Hi! Yesterday I had a simple task: there is a rendering server, which is
not to be minutely updated. So its PostgreSQL database doesn't need
temporary "slim" tables. But I cannot import an extract without creating
those, so basically I can import 3 times less data than possible.
The solution is obvious: I rented a huge hourly-priced droplet,
installed postgresql and osm2pgsql there, imported a big OSM extract,
deleted "slim" tables and transferred database contents to said
rendering server.
Well, actually, being a programmer, I first spend half a day on
automating this task. The script load-osm.sh has just been uploaded to
https://github.com/Zverik/regional , along with instructions. Basically
you would need to run it 4 times, once as root, on a clean droplet.
Tested on DO's ubuntu 12 & 14, fedora 19 & 20, debian 7.
Not sure if anyone needs it, and that it hasn't been done before, but still.
