NAME

       mapproxy-seed - pre-generate tiles for MapProxy

SYNOPSIS

       mapproxy-seed [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       mapproxy-seed  pre-generates  tiles for MapProxy to improve the performance for commonly requested views,
       because MapProxy creates all tiles on demand otherwise.

       The tool can seed one or more polygon or BBOX areas for each cached layer.

       MapProxy does not seed the tile pyramid level by level, but traverses the tile pyramid depth-first,  from
       bottom  to  top.  This is optimized to work with the caches of your operating system and geospatial data‐
       base, and not against.

OPTIONS

       -s seed.yaml, --seed-conf seed.yaml
              The seed configuration.  You can also pass the configuration as the  last  argument  to  mapproxy-
              seed.

       -f mapproxy.yaml, --proxy-conf mapproxy.yaml
              The  MapProxy  configuration to use.  This file should describe all caches and grids that the seed
              configuration references.

       -c N, --concurrency N
              The number of concurrent seed worker.  Some parts of the seed tool are CPU intensive (image split‐
              ting and encoding), use this option to distribute that load across multiple CPUs.   To  limit  the
              concurrent requests to the source WMS see wms_source_concurrent_requests_label.

       -n, --dry-run
              This will simulate the seed/cleanup process without requesting, creating or removing any tiles.

       --summary
              Print a summary of all seeding and cleanup tasks and exit.

       -i, --interactive
              Print a summary of each seeding and cleanup task and ask if mapproxy-seed should seed/cleanup that
              task.  It will query for each task before it starts.

       --seed task1,task2,..
              Only  seed  the named seeding tasks.  You can select multiple tasks with a list of comma separated
              names, or you can use the --seed option multiple times.  You can use  ALL  to  select  all  tasks.
              This disables all cleanup tasks unless you also use the --cleanup option.

       --cleanup task1,task2,..
              Only cleanup the named tasks.  You can select multiple tasks with a list of comma separated names,
              or  you  can  use the --cleanup option multiple times.  You can use ALL to select all tasks.  This
              disables all seeding tasks unless you also use the --seed option.

       --continue
              Continue an interrupted seed progress.  MapProxy will start the seeding progress at the  beginning
              if  the progress file (--progress-file) was not found.  MapProxy can only continue if the previous
              seed was started with the --progress-file or --continue option.

       --progress-file
              Filename where MapProxy stores the seeding progress for the --continue option.  Defaults to  .map‐
              proxy_seed_progress in the current working directory.  MapProxy will remove that file after a suc‐
              cessful seed.

       --duration
              Stop  seeding  process after this duration.  This option accepts duration in the following format:
              120s, 15m, 4h, 0.5d Use this option in combination with --continue to be able to resume the  seed‐
              ing.

       --reseed-file
              File created by mapproxy-seed at the start of a new seeding.

       --reseed-interval
              Only  start seeding if --reseed-file is older then this duration.  This option accepts duration in
              the following format: 120s, 15m, 4h, 0.5d Use this option in combination  with  --continue  to  be
              able to resume the seeding.

       --use-cache-lock
              Lock  each  cache  to prevent multiple parallel mapproxy-seed calls to work on the same cache.  It
              does not lock normal operation of MapProxy.

       --log-config
              The logging configuration file to use.

EXAMPLE

       Seed with concurrency of 4:

       mapproxy-seed -f mapproxy.yaml -c 4 seed.yaml

       Print summary of all seed tasks and exit:

       mapproxy-seed -f mapproxy.yaml -s seed.yaml --summary --seed ALL

       Interactively select which tasks should be seeded:

       mapproxy-seed -f mapproxy.yaml -s seed.yaml -i

       Seed task1 and task2 and cleanup task3 with concurrency of 2:

       mapproxy-seed -f mapproxy.yaml -s seed.yaml -c 2 --seed task1,task2 \
        --cleanup task3
