uMap : database

0	Weird question, but does anybody know where are the data stored on uMap (DBMS, servers location, etc.) ? If you have references it's even better. Thanks umap asked 27 Jul '21, 16:23 DouxDoux 31●2●2●3 accept rate: 0%

It depends on the instance you're using.

If it's umap.openstreetmap.fr, the wiki says it's managed by OSM-FR, hosted by OVH in Roubaix, France.

As for the DBMS, it uses GeoDjango, which support most databases (with a preference for PostgreSQL with PostGIS).

If I might be curious, why do you ask ?

Regards.

The database only holds map metadata. There's also a "datalayer" directory on disk that holds all the map layers as GeoJSON. If you have added a lot of data to your map(s), then that datalayer directory can contain GeoJSON files that dwarf the actual database size.
