As for docker container, you can ask me directly.

Hi,
Just this morning I've done the final todo in the polytiles script:
now it produces tiles 10 times faster, because it renders them in
metatiles. Also MBTiles writer now supports multiprocessing, so it's
also 6-8 times more speed. If you need a lot of tiles, do not download
them from osm.org or other sources, render them yourself: it is
finally faster than downloading.

I'd also like to remind of Nik4, the best tool for preparing printed
maps of any region, any size and any quality; and of BigMap 2 for
downloading and stitching some tiles from any of ~20 sources. The
latter can even work online: Enqueue button queues a task, and in
2-3 minutes you'll get your image. The limit for that is 100 tiles.

http://bigmap.osmz.ru/
As for Nik4, there is Get Veloroad service for generating big vector
maps online (basically a front-end to Nik4), but the server has only
data for Russia and some neighbouring countries. Last week Dmitry
Kiselev has made a Docker container for that: just install Docker,
pull the container and start it:
sudo apt-get install docker.io
sudo docker pull dkiselev/nik4web
sudo docker run -p 8081:80 -i -t dkiselev/nik4web /bin/bash
startup
The front-end would be at http://localhost:8081/nik4. You would need
to run osm2pgsql with your region before requesting images. With it
you can get PNG or vector SVG images (resolution independent),
pre-processed for a sane page size and for easier movement of labels.
Finally, yesterday I've translated into English a small geocoding
exercise: https://github.com/Zverik/visgeocode (live at
http://zverik.github.io/visgeocode/en.html ). It takes a CSV file with
addresses in one of columns, runs these addresses through MapQuest
Nominatim, and allows dragging resulting markers if geocoding was not
precise. Then it can turn markers into building contours, but since my
server has only Russia, you'd need to set up your own (maybe install the
cgi script locally). The result can be downloaded either as CSV or
as GeoJSON. We used this page for geocoding 22k addresses in
Saint-Petersburg; Russian version uses three geocoders for better
quality.
