Yes, i've removed private infos before sending. :)
One of the problem is that we already apply some
style based decisions
when generating our vector tiles. For example, we already filter out
features that will not be rendered at some zoom levels. So basing a
style on our vector tiles will limit you in what you can render.
Overall, those vector tiles are an implementation detail, coupled to
our style and not meant to be reused. The format is likely to change
without warning, which would break whatever integration you might
have.
If you need your own style, are limited on resources and don't want to
rely on our raster tiles, I'm not sure what the solution could be.
There are a few maps provider that will take care of the
infrastructure for you and let you provide your own style. But that's
not really our mission. We provide maps with the goal of having them
integrate into the various Wikipedia projects. You are very welcomed
to reuse those maps if they work for you. But we're not a general
purpose maps provider.
Currently, I'm able to put the whole osm dump to a postgis database, by using
a desktop computer (we don't have that computing power on our cloud).
But, as we don't have the ability to use the postgis database on our frontend
server (they are cloud located and tons of GB ram needed for the import are
too expensive), we have to convert from postgis to mbtiles. We don't know how
to do that. mbtiles are usefull, it's a single small-size file
comparted to tons of
pre computed png tiles.
What I would like to do is to "dump" the whole pgsql database to an
mbtiles file,
from a command line (this has to be scripted and automated) so that our tile
server will fetch and serve tiles directly from that.
Any hint or suggestions ?
That sounds like a question that should be asked on one of the OSM
mailing lists. They have much more expertise in this area! (long way
to say: "I don't know").
Good luck!
