OSMBright tutorial only shows broken tiles

[hmeine]

Describe the bug I want to create a poster map of my hometown. I am very new to tilemill, postgis etc., but I have spent many hours to inform myself as far as possible and to get to this setup, following the OSM Bright Ubuntu quickstart document. I have tried this multiple times, and finally think I understand (at a coarse level) what all the different components (should) do.

• I run the kartoza/postgis docker container with the default dbname ("gis"), user & pass ("docker").
• I used imposm to import the data from my home town into that DB (took around 1min. and gave informative output indicating success).
• I created my own Dockerfile for tilemill and built a tilemill docker container based on the current git and the node:8.11 base image.
• I downloaded mapbox-osm-bright-f1c8780 and the shapefiles, adapted configure.py, and ran make.py (on the host machine, not inside the container, but ~/Documents/MapBox was mounted into the tilemill docker container). I got no error from this step either.
• I opened tilemill via port 20009 in Firefox and found the "OSMBright" project.
• Problem: The default tile source(?) is "Project" and just shows broken tiles (white, with broken image icon). I can change it to "OpenStreetMap" or "OpenCycleMap" and get a working map display.

• Tilemill Output: I also get an error from tilemill:

  [tilemill] Client Error: TypeError: h is undefined [tilemill] at http://hostname:20009/assets/tilemill/js/vendor.js:4153

If I understand correctly, choosing "Project" should make tilemill fetch data from my postgis, right? (Where does the name "Project" come from?) How can I debug why this fails?

Environment: (Note: We are not setup to test on Linux or Windows so help may be slower on those OSs)

• OS & Version: Linux Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, but both postgis and tilemill run in docker containers
• Browser & Version: Firefox 68.0.2 (seemed to work better than Safari 12.1.2) on macOS 10.14.6
• Node Version: 8.11

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run postgis: docker run --name "postgis" -p 5432:5432 -v pg_data:/var/lib/postgresql --rm -t kartoza/postgis
2. Run imposm: imposm -U docker -d gis -m ../mapbox-osm-bright-f1c8780/imposm-mapping.py --read --write --optimize --deploy-production-tables my-downloaded.osm.pbf
3. Build tilemill container from this Dockerfile: git clone https://github.com/tilemill-project/tilemill.git && docker build -t tilemill .
4. Run tilemill: docker run --rm -t --net=host --name tilemill -v ~/Documents/MapBox:/root/Documents/MapBox tilemill
5. Ensure ~/Documents/MapBox is writeable: sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/Documents/MapBox
6. cd ../mapbox-osm-bright-f1c8780/ && ./make.py
7. Open tilemill in browser, go to Projects, select "OSM Bright"
8. Observe broken tiles (white, with broken image icon)
9. After a while, there's a popup "Unable to reach the local TileMill Server..."

Expected behavior I would expect some kind of map to appear. My main problem is that I don't know how to debug this further. The only error message I see is the above "Client Error: TypeError: h is undefined".

I think I understand better now: osm-bright needs to be inside the docker. I have updated the setup (see https://github.com/hmeine/tilemill_docker if you're interested) and it works much better now.

Hans, thanks for the follow-up with your issue, glad you figured it out. I know many people are interested in a docker solution, so this is great.
