Atlas for Docker Compose

Introduction

Atlas supports Docker Compose, a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. Atlas for Docker Compose lets you run Atlas on a single host. If you need scaling, fault tolerance, high availability, or other advanced features, you may be interested in Atlas for Kubernetes.

Atlas installer

The Atlas for Docker Compose installer is a command line interface (CLI) utility used to download and set up Atlas on a host server. The installer has multiple commands that can support different deployment environments. The installer is available for both macOS and Linux.

Connectivity requirements

The Atlas installer has been specifically designed for situations in which the host server has no internet connectivity. You must run the installer's install or download command from an internet-connected server to download Atlas data. Once the data has been downloaded, copy it to the Atlas host to complete the setup process.

Architecture

The diagram below shows how Atlas operates with external and internal services via ports, protocols, and data flows. Atlas listens on a single port and protocol for data requests. Internally, Atlas runs on a single host with routing, Mapbox APIs, data, and caching running in Docker containers.

Dependencies

To download and set up Atlas for Docker Compose, you need to download several dependencies first:

  • Docker
  • Docker Compose
  • wget
  • unzip
  • coreutils
  • pv (optional)
  • OpenSSL (optional)

wget, pv, OpenSSL, and unzip are all dependencies of the Atlas installer. wget is used as the download manager for the installer's download command. OpenSSL is used by Atlas to create a self-signed certificate, and is optional. pv provides user feedback during file operations. Docker and Docker Compose are used as the primary distribution and containerization strategy for Atlas. unzip extracts the installer download package. Mac users will need to install coreutils, which contains the realpath utility used by the Atlas installer for obtaining the pathname of the installation directory.

The installation process for these dependencies will vary depending on which operating system you are using.

You may need to reboot after installing the dependencies.

Configuring Docker

Important
Check disk space & context storage configuration before continuing!

The Atlas deployment will require about 25 GB of disk space within your Docker context. Depending on how your Docker storage is configured you may have to increase the disk space available to Docker. Get details about your configuration with docker info and visit the Docker storage driver documentation. We recommend configuring overlay2 and explicitly setting your data-root to live on NVMe SSD storage:

{
"data-root": "/nvme/docker",
"storage-driver": "overlay2"
}

Supported operating systems

You can run Atlas for Docker Compose on the following operating systems:

  • macOS*
  • Ubuntu 16.04
  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • CentOS 7
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

* Recommended for development only

macOS

  1. Download and install Docker and Docker Compose for macOS from the Docker website.
  2. Use Homebrew to install Wget, unzip, pv, coreutils, and, optionally, OpenSSL:
$ brew update
$ brew install wget unzip pv coreutils openssl
  1. Docker needs at least 4 GB of RAM to run on macOS. Open the Docker control panel. Click Preferences (⚙) > Resources. Adjust the memory by sliding the tab to 4 GB.

Install Atlas

This guide will walk you through the following components of the Atlas installation:

  • Downloading the installer.
  • Using the installer to download and install Atlas.
Documentation conventions
In this guide, we used atlas-installer as the installer name. Depending on which target OS you selected the installer will be named differently. To simplify the documentation, we will use atlas-installer for the rest of the documentation.Some examples use <angle-brackets> as a convention to show places where you will need to specify your own details. The examples in this guide also use atlas-server-files for the download destination and atlas-server as an install target. Change the destination and target directory name with the ones you choose to use.

Check prerequisites

To download Atlas, your system must have at least enough disk space for the Docker images and tilesets. The disk space requirements will be different depending on whether you download the development or production tilesets.

Tileset size

Below are approximate sizes for each tileset. Exact tileset file sizes are subject to change with new data from periodic updates.

Search5 GB75 GBNot Available
Navigation100 MB85 GBNot Available
Total10 GB1.4 TB6.7 TB

Docker images

In total, Docker images are about 15 GB.

Total disk space recommendations

Because installation maintains two copies of your data, we recommend hosting Atlas on a server with double the disk space that the data will require. If you are downloading production tilesets and geocoding data, our recommendation is to host Atlas on a server with at least 1.5 TB of disk space.

Download the installer

  1. Go to atlas.mapbox.com/install.
  2. Click the Download button for your operating system, either Linux or macOS.
  3. Unzip the downloaded zip file: unzip atlas-installer.zip.
  4. Make sure the binary is executable: chmod +x ./atlas-installer.

Wizard installation method

The Atlas installer is a command line interface (CLI) utility used to download and setup Atlas. The installer has been specifically designed for air-gapped environments where the host computer does not have access to the internet.

Note
This documentation refers to version 1.6.2 of the Atlas installer. If you have an older version of the installer, you need to download a more recent version before continuing.

We recommend using the install command. This command will prompt you through a series of questions to configure your setup, execute download to download your Atlas data, then run setup if you've specified that you're installing Atlas on the same machine. To start the installation process run:

$ ./atlas-installer install

Before starting the installation process, be prepared with the following information:

  • Your Mapbox access token with atlas:read scope. See Access Token for instructions on how to create this token.
  • Whether you plan to run Atlas on the same machine you are running the install command on.
  • Which version of Atlas you want to download.
  • What data you would like to download including development data.

For a full reference of the prompts you will see when running install, see Installer prompts reference

Install Atlas on the same machine

If you are running this command on the machine you will be installing Atlas on, you should also be prepared with the following information:

  • If you plan to run Atlas on HTTPS.
  • If you have an SSL certificate. If yes, where it is located.
  • The path where you would like to install Atlas.
  • Your Atlas server hostname, port, and a password.

After you have answered all the prompts, the installer will download all the Atlas files you specified and put them in a directory named atlas-server-files. If you are installing Atlas on the same machine (answered yes to the first prompt), the installer will run the install.sh script and configure your installation based on the information passed in to the wizard. Once complete, you can skip to the configure Atlas section.

Install Atlas on a different machine

If you are planning to install Atlas on a different machine (for example, a machine without an internet connection), you should only run install to download Atlas. You will then need to run the install.sh script on the machine you plan to use Atlas on.

To do this, answer no to the first prompt if you plan to run Atlas on a different machine, or if you are running Atlas in an air-gapped environment. If you answered no to the first prompt, the installer wizard will only ask you the questions needed to download data. Once the installer has finished downloading data, you will need to copy the downloaded files and run the install.sh script.

Manual installation method

We recommend using the installer wizard for a better install experience.

Note
If you ran the install command but are installing Atlas on a different machine (for example, an offline server), you should copy the downloaded files in your atlas-server-files directory to the new location and run the install.sh script.

Download Docker images, tilesets, and data

The download command will download the files required to a directory to be used by the install.sh script. These two steps are separated to enable an offline installation.

Usage
$ ./atlas-installer download <destination> --token <your-atlas-token> [options]
Positional arguments
  • <destination> (required): The directory where the downloaded files will be saved.
Options
--token, -t Mapbox.com secret access token with "atlas:read" scope, for example, "sk.abc123"
--version, -v Version of Atlas to download
--docker Download Docker images
--dev Download development versions when combined with the tilesets, geocoding, or navigation options
--tilesets Download specific tilesets
--geocoding Download geocoding data
--boundaries Download Mapbox Boundaries tilesets
--navigation Download navigation data
--tileset-checksums Calculate checksums for tileset and data downloads
--help Show help

If no flags are passed in to the download command nothing will be downloaded. Depending on your selections, geographic region, and available bandwidth this step can be time-consuming. All files must be downloaded before proceeding to the install.sh script.

Downloading development data

If you are testing or evaluating Atlas, we recommend that you execute the download command with the --dev flag to test your Atlas configuration without committing to downloading the full set of production tilesets. These are low-zoom (z0z8) versions of the Mapbox Streets, Satellite, and Terrain tilesets that you can use for testing.

$ ./atlas-installer download ./atlas-server-files/ --token <your-atlas-token> --dev --docker --tilesets streets --tilesets satellite --tilesets terrain
Downloading a specific version of Atlas

By default, the download command will download the latest release of Atlas. You can use the list command to see the list of Atlas versions that are available to download. For more information on the list command, see the List available Atlas versions section. If you require an Atlas version older than 2.6.0, contact Mapbox support for help.

For example, to download v2.8.1 of Atlas, you would run:

$ ./atlas-installer download ./atlas-server-files/ --token <your-atlas-token> --version v2.8.1 --docker
Downloading specific tilesets

If you only need to download a single tileset, you can limit the tilesets downloaded with the --tilesets flag. In this example only the development version of streets is downloaded:

$ ./atlas-installer download ./atlas-server-files/ --token <your-atlas-token> --dev --tilesets streets
Downloading only Docker images

To only download Docker images (e.g., to upgrade Atlas without replacing data), run:

$ ./atlas-installer download ./atlas-server-files/ --token <your-atlas-token> --docker
Atlas Upgrades
The install.sh script cannot execute with multiple versions of Atlas docker images in the download cache. In an upgrade scenario remove any existing docker images from <atlas-server-files>/docker/ before executing download to get a newer version of Atlas.

Setup Atlas

Move or copy files downloaded from the download command to the Atlas host machine. Execute the install.sh script on the Atlas host machine. The install.sh script will copy files from the source directory into the target directory and will load Docker images into the Docker context. The install.sh script does not change the downloaded data, enabling the install.sh script to be executed repeatedly.

Usage
$ ./atlas-server-files/install.sh <target>
Positional arguments
  • <target> (required): The directory where Atlas will be installed on the host.

List available Atlas versions

The list command lists of all downloadable Atlas versions.

You can determine the version of Atlas you have installed by listing the files in <atlas-server>/docker directory. You will find the version of Atlas in the docker tarballs.

atlas-api-accounts_a053a96-d95e584-53eb9ce_v2.8.1.tar.gz */} Atlas version 2.8.1

You can also get your version from the atlas.sh script:

$ ./atlas.sh version
Usage
$ ./atlas-installer list --token <your-atlas-token>
Options
  • --token <token> (required): Mapbox.com access token with "atlas:read" scope, e.g., "sk.abc123".

Once you have found the version of Atlas you would like to install, run the download command and specify the --version.

$ ./atlas-installer download ./atlas-server-files/ --version <your-atlas-version> --token <your-atlas-token> --dev

Installer prompts reference

Do you plan to run Atlas for Docker Compose on this machine?

Defaults to yes. Select no if you only want to download data.

Enter a Mapbox.com secret access token with "atlas:read" scope, e.g., "sk.abc123"

Copy and paste your secret token you created on mapbox.com with atlas:read scope.

Which version of Atlas for Docker Compose would you like to download?

You will be presented with a list of available versions to download. The first version listed is the latest stable version. Use your arrow keys to select a different version, and press <enter> to continue.

What data and tilesets would you like to download?

By default, Docker images, Mapbox Streets v8, Mapbox Countries v1, and Geocoding Data are selected as options. Use your arrow keys to navigate the options. You can press <space> to select, <a> to toggle all, or <i> to invert selection.

Would you like to download development data where possible?

Defaults to no. Select yes if you want to download development datasets.

Would you like to verify tileset checksums?

Note
This prompt applies to Atlas installer version 1.6.2. Tileset checksum value verification is enabled by default in version 1.5.0 of the Atlas installer wizard.

Defaults to no. Select yes if you would like to verify file integrity for downloaded tilesets. For large tilesets, checksum verification may add significant time to the download process.

Where do you plan to install Atlas for Docker Compose?

Only asked if installing Atlas on the same machine.

Defaults to atlas-server. Enter the name of the directory you wish to install Atlas. The installer will create this directory for you.

Enable high-resolution tilesets

If your Atlas license includes access to high-resolution terrain data, edit the configuration file to enable access to these tilesets. After installing Atlas and downloading terrain data, add or un-comment the following lines from your ./config file:

maxzoom_mapbox_terrain_v2=15
maxzoom_terrain_rgb=14

Configure Atlas

Atlas uses a single config file in the Atlas root directory to manage all configuration settings.

The default configuration

# The username for Atlas is atlas-user
# atlasUserPassword is the password for atlas-user
atlasUserPassword=
atlasLicense=

# This is the URL where users will be accessing Atlas
# This could be
# - the machine's local IP Address
# - the DNS name of your load balancer
# - etc
# If you want to access the same Atlas server from multiple domains, use
# http://use-host-header or https://use-host-header
atlasURL=http://localhost:2999

# This is the port, protocol, and network interface that the Atlas nginx Docker
# container will listen on.
#
# If https is used, Atlas will expect SSL certificates to be placed
# in the $ATLAS_ROOT/ssl_cert folder with names:
# - cert.pem
# - key.pem
atlasPort=2999
atlasProtocol=http
atlasInterface=0.0.0.0

# This sets the Atlas log level to help control the verbosity of logs.
# Valid values:
# - error: limits log messages to important messages (default)
# - info: log more informational messages in addition to errors & warnings.
# Note that request logs are output for both log levels.
atlasLogLevel=error

# Sets the access keys for Minio s3 backend.
# These are the default access keys and they should be changed before starting Atlas the first time.
# Key rotation can be done following these instructions:
# https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/RELEASE.2021-04-22T15-44-28Z/docs/config/README.md#rotating-encryption-with-new-credentials
# Uncomment and set the MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_OLD and MINIO_SECRET_KEY_OLD keys
# directly in the atlas-minio service in the docker-compose.yml
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=EXAMPLE
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=EXAMPLEKEY

# Set custom maximum zoom values. Uncomment to enable high-resolution terrain tilesets for Atlas Enterprise.
# maxzoom_mapbox_terrain_v2=15
# maxzoom_terrain_rgb=14

Configuration reference

  • atlasUserPassword is the Atlas password. You must set it and it is generally only shared with Atlas administrators.
  • atlasLicense is the Atlas license key, also available from the Atlas installation page.
  • atlasURL is the URL that Atlas Studio and Atlas APIs use (for example local IP address, public DNS hostname, etc.).
  • atlasPort is the port that Atlas uses on the host machine.
  • atlasProtocol is the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) that Nginx in Atlas listens on.
  • atlasInterface is the IP of the network interface that Atlas listens to. The default 0.0.0.0 listens on all interfaces.
  • atlasLogLevel is the log verbosity setting for the Atlas server.
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY are access credentials for the internal S3 datastore.
  • maxzoom_<map-id> settings configure the maxzoom of the specified tileset.
  • redisPassword is the password for the Redis server. You must set it for additional security, otherwise the Redis server would run without the password if left empty.

Set the Atlas password

You must set the password used to login to the Atlas Account page, Studio, and other resources. The password must be at least 8 characters. Set the atlasUserPassword by:

  1. Open the config file and set the desired password in the atlasUserPassword field.
  2. Restart Atlas: ./atlas.sh stop && ./atlas.sh start.

Configure HTTPS

Atlas can be configured to communicate using HTTPS for increased security. In production use, the certificate file should be signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. For ease of testing, we also provide a script to generate a self-signed certificate.

  1. Edit the configuration:
    1. Open ./config.
    2. Change atlasURL to start with the https protocol (e.g., https://localhost:2999).
    3. Change atlasProtocol to https.
    4. Save and close the file.
  2. Save the certificate:
    • If you have a signed certificate:
      1. Save the private key (in PEM format) to ./ssl_cert/key.pem.
      2. Save the certificate (in PEM format) to ./ssl_cert/cert.pem.
      3. Configure the certificate and key to be accessible by UID 998, which is the user ID of the Atlas nginx server (sudo chown -R 998 ./ssl_cert).
    • If you want to create a self-signed certificate:
      1. cd to the Atlas root directory and run sudo ./atlas.sh create-certificate. This stores the necessary files in ./ssl_cert for you.
  3. Restart Atlas: ./atlas.sh stop && ./atlas.sh start

For example, to configure HTTPS with a self-signed certificate, you would run:

sed -i .bak -e 's/atlasURL=http:/atlasURL=https:/;s/atlasProtocol=http$/atlasProtocol=https/' config
sudo ./atlas.sh create-certificate
./atlas.sh stop && ./atlas.sh start

Configure HTTP

Atlas can be configured to communicate by unencrypted HTTP if it has previously been configured with HTTPS.

  1. Edit the configuration:
    1. Open ./config.
    2. Change atlasURL to start with the http protocol (e.g., http://localhost:2999).
    3. Change atlasProtocol to http.
    4. Save and close the file.
  2. Restart Atlas: ./atlas.sh stop && ./atlas.sh start

For example, to configure HTTP, you would run:

sed -i .bak -e 's/atlasURL=https:/atlasURL=http:/;s/atlasProtocol=https$/atlasProtocol=http/' config
./atlas.sh stop && ./atlas.sh start

Run Atlas behind a reverse proxy

A common configuration is to have Atlas served over HTTP and behind an HTTPS reverse proxy. Because some services within Atlas advertise URIs to the client, you will need to configure Atlas to advertise the correct URI. These environment variables populate those URIs within the services.

  1. Stop Atlas: ./atlas.sh stop
  2. Edit ./config
  3. Update the atlasURL variable with your public hostname or load balancer address.
  4. Update atlasProtocol & atlasPort as needed.
  5. Start Atlas: ./atlas.sh start

Run Atlas

Documentation conventions
Some examples use <angle-brackets> as a convention to show places where you will need to specify your own details. The examples in this guide also use atlas-server as an install target. Change the install directory with that of your own configuration.

Atlas is started and stopped from the command line.

Start the server

To start Atlas, run the following commands:

  1. $ cd atlas-server
  2. $ ./atlas.sh start
  3. You will be able to follow startup progress in the console.
Startup Status
The start script waits up to five minutes for all containers to report healthy. If you run into problems starting Atlas, use these commands to troubleshoot:- docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.geocoding.std.yml -f docker-compose.navigation.yml -f docker-compose.geocoding.yml ps- docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.geocoding.std.yml -f docker-compose.navigation.yml -f docker-compose.geocoding.yml logs -f <unhealthy service>

Basic mode

If your license includes Atlas Standard or higher, and you need to limit Atlas to running with only features available in Atlas Basic (for example, to enforce compliance requirements), you can start Atlas with ./atlas.sh start --basic-only. This will disable Studio, the account dashboard, and other features that are not included at the Atlas Basic tier. Most customers should not use this option.

Stop the server

To stop Atlas, run the following commands:

  1. $ cd atlas-server
  2. $ ./atlas.sh stop
  3. You will see a confirmation message once the Atlas server has stopped running.

Fix Redis THP and memory warnings

There are a few system requirements that Redis requires to run efficiently in a production environment. When you start Atlas, you may see the following Redis log warnings during startup:

redis | 1:C 18 Nov 2019 19:09:59.300 # oO0OoO0OoO0Oo Redis is starting oO0OoO0OoO0Oo

redis | 1:M 18 Nov 2019 19:09:59.324 # WARNING you have Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support enabled in your kernel. This will create latency and memory usage issues with Redis. To fix this issue run the command 'echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled' as root, and add it to your /etc/rc.local in order to retain the setting after a reboot. Redis must be restarted after THP is disabled.
Tread Carefully
You must make these changes on your Docker host, so the changes affect all processes running on the machine. Be sure to understand the implications for any other processes running on your host machine.

Enable vm.overcommit_memory (always)

To enable vm.overcommit_memory without checks, run the following:

$ echo "vm.overcommit_memory = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf

Disable THP

Typically, THP can be disabled via a kernel option and the process for that depends on your specific system. Here are some examples that work well for us. Once reconfigured, you'll need to restart the system and verify the changes have persisted.

Warning
Making any changes to your boot configuration incorrectly could prevent your system from booting. Be careful!
To disable THP on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7

Add transparent_hugepage=never to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in /etc/default/grub. Then the file should look something like:

$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=1
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="transparent_hugepage=never console=tty0 crashkernel=auto console=ttyS0,115200"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

Then, rebuild grub.cfg

# Rebuild grub.cfg on a BIOS-based machine
$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
# Rebuild grub.cfg on a UEFI-based machine
$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg
To disable THP on Ubuntu 18.04

Add transparent_hugepage=never to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in /etc/default/grub. Then the file should look something like:

$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=1
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="transparent_hugepage=never console=tty0 crashkernel=auto console=ttyS0,115200"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

Then, rebuild grub.cfg

$ sudo update-grub
To disable THP on Ubuntu 18.04 (Cloud Image)
$ sudo echo "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"\$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT transparent_hugepage=never\"" > /etc/default/grub.d/99-transparent-hugepage.cfg'
$ update-grub
Reboot and verify

Reboot the machine to take effect. Next, verify the settings are correct:

$ sysctl vm.overcommit_memory
vm.overcommit_memory = 1

$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
always madvise [never]

Troubleshoot your Atlas installation

If you have any issues while installing or running Atlas, the following troubleshooting strategies may help you diagnose and fix the problem.

Out-of-memory Docker errors

When developing locally with Atlas, you will sometimes get out-of-memory errors. Docker is conservative about garbage collection, meaning you will sometimes need to use the Docker prune command to clean up unused Docker assets. To learn more about how to use the prune command, visit the Docker documentation on pruning.

"No space left on device" errors

The install.sh script uses docker load. You need enough disk space in both /var/lib/docker and /tmp to run setup. We recommend at least 20 GB of space for both directories. If you receive the error message Error processing tar file(exit status 1): ... no space left on device, increase the disk space in either the /var/lib/docker or /tmp directories.

"Docker daemon is not running" errors

When the install.sh script is running, you might see the error: The Docker daemon is not running. Please start Docker before proceeding. If this occurs, reboot your instance with the command sudo reboot. Then you can run the install.sh script again.

View server logs

To view your Docker logs to diagnose issues, run the command docker-compose logs -f and pipe the output of this command into a new log file. The -f flag lets you follow the log output. To view other flag options for this command, see the docker-compose logs documentation.

For additional log output, set the atlasLogLevel setting to info in the Atlas configuration file.

Expired license error message

Your Account page will display the expiration date of your Atlas user license so that you know when to get the renewal process started.

If your Atlas license has expired, you will see an expiration error when you try to start Atlas. If you see this message, contact us to discuss renewing your Atlas license.

Cannot verify certificate

On certain older systems Mapbox's certificate issued by DigiCert is not recognized. You can download a certificate authority bundle and configure wget to trust the certificate by executing these commands:

$ mkdir ~/ca_certs
$ openssl s_client -showcerts -servername mapbox-atlas.s3.amazonaws.com \
-connect mapbox-atlas.s3.amazonaws.com:443 </dev/null > ~/ca_certs/mapbox.crt
$ echo ca_directory=~/ca_certs >> ~/.wgetrc

Submit feedback about Atlas

If you have any technical issues with installing or running Atlas, send an email to support@mapbox.com with the following information:

  • Operating system name and version
  • Atlas version and architecture
  • What were you doing when you ran into the problem? What specific commands did you run or actions did you take?
  • What was the expected outcome?
  • What was the actual outcome?
  • Any relevant error logs in the browser console
  • Any relevant application error logs

Upgrade Atlas

To upgrade to the latest version of Atlas, you will need access to the internet to download new data.

To upgrade when a new Atlas version is released, you will need to download new Docker images and data. Upgrading data (e.g., to add another tileset) will not require new Docker images. This guide applies to both scenarios.

Upgrade Atlas and data

Atlas should be updated as a fresh installation, where Atlas is newly installed and settings and data are copied. Always backup your data and settings before starting an upgrade.

Note
Before running the install or download command, confirm the atlas-server-files directory does not exist or is empty.

Fresh install

To do a fresh install, first install Atlas with the latest data and then migrate custom data over.

  1. Install the new version of Atlas using the instructions in Install Atlas and Configure Atlas. Copy any custom configuration settings from the old config file into the new config file.

  2. Copy over your custom data:

    <atlas-server-new>/atlas.sh stop
    cp <atlas-server-old>/mbtiles/atlas-user.*.mbtiles <atlas-server-new>/mbtiles
    rm -rf <atlas-server-new>/dynalite-data/
    cp -r <atlas-server-old>/dynalite-data <atlas-server-new>/dynalite-data
  3. Start the new Atlas installation:

    cd <atlas-server-old>
    ./atlas.sh stop
    ./atlas.sh clean
    cd <atlas-server-new>
    ./atlas.sh start
  4. Connect to Atlas in your browser and verify the listed version is correct. Use Studio to verify expected data is correct.

  5. Once you are satisfied the new installation is complete, you can uninstall the previous version of Atlas:

    <atlas-server-old>/remove.sh <atlas-server-old>
    rm -rf <atlas-server-old>
Upgrade to a specific version of Atlas

To upgrade to a specific version of Atlas, provide the version number when downloading the files. Use the atlas-installer list command to list available Atlas versions. You may need to download a different version of the installer if the Atlas version you need is not displayed.

$ ./atlas-installer download atlas-server-files/ --token <your-atlas-token> --docker --version <your-version>

# Set up Atlas with new images and tilesets
$ atlas-server-files/install.sh atlas-server/

Upgrade data only

To upgrade the data used by your Atlas installation, follow these instructions. For example, this will be useful if you want to replace development tilesets with production tilesets or have an update for a tileset.

Note
Before running the install or download command, confirm the atlas-server-files directory does not exist or is empty.

Update Boundaries data

Periodically, Boundaries data receives updates with additional and improved information. To upgrade Atlas with these updates, you will re-run the download and install.sh commands.

First verify that your download destination directory is empty. Once confirmed, run the following commands to update Boundaries data:

# Download updated Boundaries data
$ ./atlas-installer download atlas-server-files/ --token <your-atlas-token> --boundaries

# Overwrite the previous Boundaries data with the updated Boundaries data
$ atlas-server-files/install.sh atlas-server/

Upgrade from development to production tilesets

If you initially installed Atlas with low-res development tilesets, at some point you may want to upgrade to full-zoom production tilesets. To do this, you will re-run the download command with the --tilesets flag.

First verify that your download destination directory is empty. Once confirmed, run the following commands to upgrade from development tilesets to production tilesets:

# Download production tilesets
$ ./atlas-installer download atlas-server-files/ --token <your-atlas-token> --tilesets all

# Overwrite the dev tilesets with the downloaded production tilesets
$ atlas-server-files/install.sh atlas-server/

You can select which tilesets to download and update. Run atlas-installer download --help to see available tileset options. For example, to download production Mapbox Satellite and Mapbox Terrain data:

./atlas-installer download atlas-server-files --tilesets satellite --tilesets terrain

Upgrade from development to production geocoding data

Like upgrading from development to production tilesets, to fully experience Atlas Search, you should use production search data. To do this, you will re-run the download command with the --geocoding flag.

First verify that your download destination directory is empty. Once confirmed, run the following commands to upgrade from development geocoding data to production geocoding data:

# Download production geocoding data
$ ./atlas-installer download atlas-server-files/ --token <your-atlas-token> --geocoding

# Overwrite the dev geocoding data with the downloaded production geocoding data
$ atlas-server-files/install.sh atlas-server/

Update your Atlas license

To update your Atlas license, update the atlasLicense setting in the Atlas root config file.

First, log in to your Mapbox.com account with an Atlas license. Then visit the Atlas installation page and copy the license key.

Next, open the config file and paste your updated license string:

atlasLicense=ey...

Save the file and restart Atlas. After Atlas restarts, visit the main Atlas landing page (e.g., http://localhost:2999). Verify the new license expiration date under the License heading on the right-hand side of the main landing page.

Production checklist

This checklist serves as a guide by providing recommended configuration options for securely deploying your Atlas instance to a production environment. It is a complement to implementation guides, best practices, and organizational policies for deploying production-grade web services.

Deploying with a load balancer

Regardless of the size of your Atlas deployment, a load balancer, CDN, or DDoS protection service can protect your Atlas server from excessive traffic. Any administrator of a public Atlas deployment should consider how their server will perform under higher-than-expected load.

When deploying Atlas with a load balancer, make sure the X-Forwarded-For header is set to allow Atlas to include the correct client IP address in system logs.

The rate limits in Atlas are not a substitute for a dedicated DDoS protection service. Any administrator of a public Atlas deployment should consider appropriate denial-of-service mitigation, such as limiting simultaneous sessions from an IP or block.

Firewall and network configuration

Atlas is designed to run in a variety of network environments, both on the Internet and in air-gapped enclaves.

Protocol

Under default configuration settings, Atlas will serve data over the unencrypted HTTP protocol. Most production deployments should encrypt traffic to and from the Atlas server, either using a load balancer, a reverse proxy, or by setting atlasProtocol to https in the config file.

Ports

Atlas listens on a single TCP port, set by atlasPort in the config file. By default this port is 2999, but we recommend that your public-facing endpoint use TCP port 443 (for HTTPS) or port 80 (for HTTP). Atlas does not require any outbound ports.

Listening interfaces

By default, Atlas will listen on the configured port on all network interfaces. If you want to listen on a particular interface, set the atlasInterface configuration option to the IP address of the appropriate interface, then restart Atlas.

Logging

Atlas containers send logs to stdout, which is routed through the logging configuration of the Docker daemon. To enable log rotation or to send logs to a centralized log repository, configure Docker logging appropriately.

Atlas logs contain information that can identify the cause of service failure. However, no particular information needs to be retained to expediently bring the application back online.

Data protection

Atlas APIs include rate limiting to mitigate Denial of Service and scraping of Atlas map content. You must not host the Atlas Software in a way that makes any Atlas content accessible to the public except through the Atlas APIs.

Atlas sets Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers to allow any of your sites to use its APIs. To limit access to a more restricted set of origins, change the CORS headers in a proxy or load balancer.

Atlas makes certain information about the running version, license validity, and default public token available on endpoints with the /api/ route prefix. These endpoints are required for operation of the Atlas Account Dashboard, Atlas Studio, and the kepler.gl plugin. You can block access to this data by configuring a reverse proxy or load balancer to deny access to endpoints with the /api/ prefix.

Updates

Atlas updates include new functionality and security patches. To make sure that you receive the latest security updates, check for new Atlas versions using the Atlas installer or the Atlas installer website at least once every 30 days.

Note

Startup Issue with Boundaries (Docker Only) - During the initial startup of Atlas, users may face an error stating:

It looks like either you don't have Mapbox Boundaries or it hasn't been configured correctly.

This issue stems from failures in the mapbox-upload-validate processes due to inadequate resources for atlas-ddb, compounded by a read-only file system that prevents error logging.

Resolution Steps

  • Stop Atlas.
  • Open docker-compose.yml.
  • Navigate to the services.atlas-ddb section.
  • Double the cpu_shares value.
  • Add read_only: false at the bottom of the services.atlas-ddb, under !!merge <<: *global-security.
