Enabling Open Street Maps

Quick guide to enable OSM in staging servers

To enable OSM on a staging server, you'll need:

• ssh access to the server (with admin rights)

• an OFN user account (with superadmin rights)

• a geocoder API key

Then, follow the steps:

• Log in to the staging server via ssh and edit the configuration file for the respective environment. For OFN staging servers that should be ~/apps/openfoodnetwork/current/.env.staging

• Comment or delete existing Google Maps and replace it with the Mapbox key.

  • #GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=...

  • Add the GEOCODER_API_KEY=pk.eyJ1IjoiZmZ1cnR...<look within the testing section of Bitwarden>

• restart puma sudo systemctl restart puma.service

• Log in as superadmin and visit the Content section (under Configuration).

  • Find the MAP section and tick the Open Street Map enabled checkbox

  • Under Open Street Map provider name: add OpenStreetMap.Mapnik

  • Save the changes by clicking Update
