Streaming tiles (mod_tile) and rendering (renderd) on another server

Hello everyone,

I have a rather technical question but I'm sure I can find someone who knows the answer here :)

We put https://tile.openstreetmap.be/ online. The goal is to provide baselayers for Belgium and surroundings with default name tag but also with name:fr and name:nl only.

So here are my questions :
I want to render the tiles on a powerful server and only "stream" the tiles on the "tile.openstreetmap.be" (no rendering).
It works rather well but how can I make sure my tiles never expire ?
How can I "disable" the /dirty option ?
I see, using munin that all the tiles are "Old tile, attempted render". How can I disabled the "attempted render" ?

If needed, everything is documented here : https://github.com/jbelien/openstreetmap-carto-be/wiki

Thanks a lot :)

Without looking too closely at your setup:

You can disable /dirty in your Apache config through a rewrite rule that rewrites everything that ends in "dirty" to some other page, or returns a "forbidden" error, e.g. RewriteRule ^/.*/dirty$ / [F]
You can keep mod_tile from issuing low-priority "attempted render" requests by telling it that your database is 10 years old (or so): touch -d '10 years ago' /var/lib/mod_tile/planet-import-complete

Thanks Frederik, I'll try that.

About /dirty what append if someone makes that query but renderd can't render it (because the database is not there). Is the tile deleted or does it "stay" ?

Thanks :)

It stays. If you don't have renderd running, you could also just ignore everything since all render requests will fizzle out anyway, just make sure to set ModTileRequestTimeout to 0.

I just checked, ModTileRequestTimeout is already set to 0.

Should I also set ModTileMissingRequestTimeout to 0, I guess so right ?
