GPX to PNG converter service

This service can be used to convert GPX files to PNG using the original gpx2png.pl script.

The perl script uses openstreetmap to get the map tiles.

Don't blame me for anything. I just needed this to generate images from GPX files for a cycling club I'm connected to ;)

Starting it up.

Copy docker-compose.dist.yml to docker-compose.yml. Adjust the file to your own needs and run:

docker-compose up -d

This will build the docker image and listen on port 5000 by default.

Example usage

Example with curl:

curl -XPOST --data-binary @yourawesomeroute.gpx http://localhost:5000 > awesomeness.png

Just post the raw .gpx file to the service and the png data will be returned.
