Codebase for https://vici.org).

To run this on a local machine, you need a database (MariaDB / MySQL) and a webserver (I use nginx) and PHP (should work on 7.4). See the included nginx config for details.

In /db you'll find sql dumps of two databases:

• geo.sql.gz
• vici.sql.gz

geo.sql is used for the reverse geocoder, that displays the name of the location on the /vici/{item} pages. This data is derived from geonames. This dump is not the complete database, it only includes places from a few European countries, like DE, NL, BE, IT, FR, ES.

vici.sql is a complete (October 2023) dump of all data from vici.org, with anonymized used data.

Load both into MariaDB / MySQL.

The vici.org PHP codes gets the required credentials from environment variables. See fastcgi_params in the nginx folder for an example.

If set, the environment variable VICIBASE, is passed to the vici.js javascript widget. This will use it for the base url for data requests it needs to make. So if your local instance runs as http://vici.local, set VICIBASE accordingly.

The tiles used in Vici.org are served by tileproxy.

The images served by Vici.org are processed and cached by imageserver.
