RISCO feature server provides web services serving vector features on a GeoJSON-like protocol format.

It was developed in Golang using the valyala/fasthttp FastHTTP library. This library provides extremely low latency, being capable of resolving hundreds of thousands of requests per second.

This a part of RISCO Web Map solution.

It's intended to connect to a PostgreSQL / PostGIS backend. In order to be properly used by RISCO feature server, a PostGIS backend database must contain a 'risco_v2' metadata schema. Please find the empty structure for such a schema at this location.

1. create a folder and 'cd' to it
2. clone this repository into that folder
3. using a terminal opened on this folder run ./build.sh (or build.bat if you are in Windows)
4. create a subfolder called 'log'

To run it just type ...

./riscosrv_v2

... and hit <enter>

It's easy to find documentation to create a systemd service from any executable, as this example.

It's easy to use command line utility sc.exe to create a new entry in Windows Services panel. Just follow these steps:

1. edit the contents of file 'install_win_service.bat' according to your needs
2. run it

When finished, there will be a new entry in Windows Services, using whatever is written in the displayname parameter in the file.

Configuration files are JSON and are supposed to be placed in same folder as as riscosrv_v2 executable ('riscosrv_v2.exe' in Windows).

Generic config is kept on config.json file. Some sample contents:

{
	"generic": {
		"addr_hs": ":8020",	
		"logpath": "log/log.txt",
		"shutddelay_secs": 5,
		"timedserver_mins": 20
	}
}

Parameters

• addr_hs: listen address and TCP port (separeted by ':')
• logpath: path of log file (example logs to 'log' folder created in previous steps)
• shutddelay_secs: currently unused but required parameter, any numerical will do
• timedserver_mins: currently unused but required parameter, any numerical will do

Currently RISCO server works only with PostgreSQL / PostGIS.

Database connection configuration is stored on a file called dbconn_config.json. Some sample contents:

{
	"user": "risco_v2",
	"password": "xxxxyyy",
	"host": "localhost",
	"port": 5432,
	"database": "mydata",
	"maxConnections": 4
}

Parameters:

• user: database user (usually the owner of config 'risco_v2' schema)
• password: base 64 encoded database user's password
• host: database host address (IP or DNS name)
• port: TCP port
• database: database name
• maxConnections: number of max concurrent connections
