SYNOPSIS
renderd.conf
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the renderd.conf configuration file.
renderd.conf is an INI configuration file for use with renderd(1).
The default location is '/etc/renderd.conf' (macro definition 'RENDERD_CONFIG').
All option names are case-insensitive.
RENDERD
Options belonging to a [renderd] section.
There must be at least one [renderd] section (e.g. [renderd] or [renderd0]).
By default, there can be up to 5 (macro definition 'MAX_SLAVES') [renderd] sections (e.g. [renderd0] -
[renderd4]).
[renderd] section names must begin with [renderd].
iphostname
Specify the IP address/hostname to be used for communication with renderd. This must be specified
in combination with ipport. This option and socketname are mutually exclusive.
ipport Specify the port number to be used for communication with renderd. This must be specified in
combination with iphostname. This option and socketname are mutually exclusive.
num_threads
Specify the number of threads to be used for renderd. A value of '-1' will configure num_threads
to the number of cores on the system. The default value is '4' (macro definition 'NUM_THREADS').
pid_file
Specify the file path into which the PID will be written by renderd. It is only written to when
renderd is not running in foreground mode (e.g. without '--foreground' / '-f'). The default value
is '/run/renderd/renderd.pid' (macro definition 'RENDERD_PIDFILE').
socketname
Specify the file path to be used as a unix domain socket for communication with renderd. This
option and iphostname / ipport are mutually exclusive. The default value is
'/run/renderd/renderd.sock' (macro definition 'RENDERD_SOCKET').

MAPNIK
Options belonging to the [mapnik] section.
There can be only one [mapnik] section.
[mapnik] section name must be equal to [mapnik].
