Timely. Just started a project to document Bosnia and Hercegovina's remaining minefields on OSM. The build system consumes PDFs from the European Union Force as they are updated, georeferences them and pushes the features to OSM. Many tile sets on live maps are updated within the week!
Ok.. i want to serve tiles... ok, I go here: https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/ First option (Build a tile server using packages) ... i click on it.. ubuntu packages... i don't have ubuntu here, let's go back. Second option (Build a tile server from source), takes me here: https://switch2osm.org/?page_id=76 ... where is the documentation? How do i build it from source? Ok fsck it, let's try the "all in one solutio…

I tried to build my own OSM server a couple months back. I quickly abandoned when I discovered that the amount of processing to import their world map data file in Postgres would require several months (desktop Core i7 3770k / 16 GB ram but a 7200 rpm hard drive since there wasn't enough space on my SSD). For a world map server you would need a beefy machine to make it less painful, something like 64 GB ram, multi nv…
It takes about 18 hours to import the whole planet onto a E5-1650v3 server, with 256GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. 128GB RAM would certainly have sufficed. The number of cores doesn't actually matter much. I've never seen it use more than 8 cores, even when I ask it to use far more.
I wish you could just download a big bunch of pre-rendered tiles for each country.
Or build your own from planet.osm (that's a file, not a domain (it's hard to tell these days)).

I'd be surprised if this were indeed the case, even on spinning disks. Did you use the pbf export? I can load it in two or three days using osm2pgsql on my home desktop (albeit with SSDs). On the £10k+ work server it loads in about 24 hours.
The issue with providing a Postgres dump is that people often want different things from the output data, and the choices made during the import might rule out certain uses.

Hmm, I run a handleful of OSM servers with similar specs and it takes a little a day or 2 to import the world to a HDD. Here's some benchmarks. It definitely helps to have a beefy server: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2pgsql/benchmarks A Postgres dump would be massive.
Indeed - it inflates to hundreds of GB during my import process.

Allowed by who? I'm not talking about being prohibited to do so.
