Are there any plans to have some kind of tiles upload policy to the tile-toolservers?
Hi
With the new setup on tirex basis I have much less worries on hosting more styles.
The only bottleneck with having more styles is the expire process that needs to do a stat call for each expired metatile in each style, so with ~3000 expired tiles per minute, a new style adds 3000 stat calls per minute to the expiry process.
But it would be great if I could donate & keep updating the 10GB of pre-rendered Night Lights PNG tiles I already have to the Wikipedia tile-toolserver setup.
We have a very similar setup with the hillshading tiles [1]. They are about 492.62G in 126629282 files so far away from your 10G. If no one opposes we could set up an rsync process to sync the changed tiles in regular intervals.
Please contact me private to talk about the technical stuff.
