This set of commands is for setting up an open trip planner instance for New York City. OTP requires GTFS data and OSM streets data to build a graph, which it uses for trip planning.
Lucky for us, someone here dockerhub has left a nice CLI command to build the graph and run the container, but we need to get the data first.
The data are downloaded on the host machine. For me, this is a digitalocean droplet running ubuntu 14.
First, get GTFS for the New York City Subway from the MTA's downloads page: wget http://web.mta.info/developers/data/nyct/subway/google_transit.zip
Next, get OSM city extract for NYC. Thanks Mapzen! https://s3.amazonaws.com/metro-extracts.mapzen.com/new-york_new-york.osm.pbf
Finally, run the following docker command: docker run -it -v $(pwd):/var/otp/graphs opentripplanner/opentripplanner --build /var/otp/graphs --analyst
NYC is big, it takes a long time to build the graph.
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 -it -v $(pwd):/var/otp/graphs opentripplanner/opentripplanner --router '' --server --analyst
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 -it -v $(pwd):/var/otp/graphs opentripplanner/opentripplanner --build /var/otp/graphs --router '' --server --analyst
once the container is built with one of the above commands, commit it and then run it again without build... I think...
