I have a remote server tasked with regularly generating .osm files from Wikivoyage listings.

I would like that server to also convert from .osm to .obf
While this conversion is easy with the GUI of OsmAndMapCreator (screenshot below), I am not sure how to proceed by command-line (bash).

OsmAnd Map Creator - Create .obf from osm file...

1) Create 2 folders, for instance /home/nico/osm2obf/input and /home/nico/osm2obf/output

2) Put your OSM file(s) in /home/nico/osm2obf/input.

3) Create this file in the folder where OsmAndMapCreator is installed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<batch_process>
    <process_attributes
        mapZooms=""
        renderingTypesFile=""
        zoomWaySmoothness="" 
        osmDbDialect="sqlite"
        mapDbDialect="sqlite"/>
    <process
        directory_for_osm_files="/home/nico/osm2obf/input"
        directory_for_index_files="/home/nico/osm2obf/output"
        directory_for_generation="/home/nico/osm2obf/output"
        skipExistingIndexesAt=""
        indexPOI="true"
        indexRouting="false"
        indexMap="false"
        indexTransport="false"
        indexAddress="false">
    </process>
</batch_process>

4) Run this command:

java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -Xms256M -Xmx2560M -cp "./OsmAndMapCreator.jar:./lib/OsmAnd-core.jar:./lib/*.jar" net.osmand.data.index.IndexBatchCreator osm2obf.xml

I have two more questions about this topic :

1) Could you update this answer : It seems net.osmand.data.index.IndexBatchCreator no more exists in 2023 versions 2) I noticed that the software increased from 2014 to 2023 from a size of 24MB to 189MB. What are the reasons for such great growth when the software of 2014 made it possible to do everything that the software of 2023?

thanks a lot for any answer
