Take pictures and upload to panoramax.mapcomplete.org

[tordans]

MapComplete always had a focus on collecting Pictures of OSM Objects. They used IMGUR until recently, when they switched to a special Panoramax Instance that is only used to handle pictures from the app.

Panoramax is an open source, federated Mapillary-like service.

I think it would be a great addition to GoMap to allow storing geo referenced pictures.

• Use Case 1: Add pictures to OSM objects
  Users could take pictures, upload them to this instance and connect them in the data with a panoramax=* tag in one go.

• Use Case 2: OSM Notes
  A second use case would IMO be to allow picture uploads as part of the "add note" UI where I write a note like "check tags based on traffic sign (picture) and road markings (pictures)"

@pietervdvn would it be possible to allow GoMap (or StreetComplete) to upload pictures to your instance as well? What would the requirements be?

It is @thibaultmol whom hosts the server and who thus has to decide this.

I don't see a reason why not, except the disk usage (but that shouldn't be a problem)

I think it's probably best to keep separate instances for each app. To help with moderation and such. (it's just separate docker containers on the vm I have).
I don't mind looking into this yeah.

Did promise to put the main OSMBE instance up for the longest time, so probably going to prioritize that first unfortunately.
