Map of Datacenters
How to create a map with data which can be easily maintained without effort.
Data in a spread sheet
To go into an informed discussion about datacenters we need, suprise, surprise, data about datacenters themselves.
So I started to collect data mainly for Germany, in a simple Cryptpad Sheet which can be exported to a ODS document and turned into a CSV file.
This can be created and edited anonymously. This is important if you do not want to be branded as Anti-Tech Activist, _Antichrist or Chinese Psyops
Map of your data
You can als create anonymous maps on OpenStreetMap Umap.
You get a private link to edit and a public link to show.
All you need on your website is an iframe in your html code.
<iframe width="100%"
height="600px"
frameBorder="0"
src="https://umap.openstreetmap.de/en/map/datacenter_140685
?scaleControl=true
&miniMap=false
&scrollWheelZoom=true
&zoomControl=true
&allowEdit=false
&moreControl=true
&searchControl=true
&tilelayersControl=null
&embedControl=null
&datalayersControl=true
&onLoadPanel=none
&captionBar=true//">
</iframe>
From CSV to Map Entries
OpenStreetMap needs GeoJSON, the conversion script is here on Codeberg
Map
The result is an easy to use map like this one.
Have fun with data and maps!
