Happy new year! Following in Imre Samu's (https://github.com/ImreSamu/dockerized-taginfo) footsteps, I have used the past holiday season to set up a taginfo server that is supposed to serve daily updated taginfo data for all regional extracts routinely offered on the Geofabrik download server.
It's still being tinkered with hence I'm not announcing it widely - I'd hope that a few of you here might want to give it a spin and tell me how it is working for them before it is properly "launched". The site is https://taginfo.geofabrik.de/ and you have to append the path of the region you're interested in as known from the download server, e.g. https://taginfo.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin/ or something. If you do anything fancy with the URL e.g. leave off the trailing slash or add one where it doesn't belong, you'll get an internal server error ;) The same is true for situations in which I should accidentally have neglected to fix a hyperlink and it still points to /something instead of /continent/country/something. The map images are auto-generated from the data extent and will probably require some tweaking in some cases, e.g. the Australia-Oceania image essentially spans the globe. The way this works internally is that it simply runs Jochen's taginfo data analysis on every extract, separately, and then uses a slightly modified web application that is capable of handling multiple databases at the same time. For the non-extract-specific sources like the wiki extract, a shared copy is used by all regions. The regional databases are downloadable (e.g. http://taginfo.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin/download/taginfo-db.db.gz), but in contrast to Jochen's global taginfo site, these downloads are compressed on demand, and you can easily overload the server by trying to download all databases. If you want all regional databases, talk to me and we'll set something up. This is still missing a couple features, most of all some form of navigation between regions (currently only by manual URL manipulation). It also has a few issues that Imre has already encountered and fixed in his approach, most notably the fact that the Geofabrik extracts are not very precise, leading to strange artifacts like a "source=cadastre-dgi-fr" being prominent in Luxembourg and so on. Most of the changes I have made to the taginfo web site are on https://github.com/geofabrik/taginfo/tree/multi-config, some bits and pieces are still missing but will ultimately all end up there. Let me hear of the problems you encounter so I can fix them before announcing this further!
