[Xastir] OSM rendering server

I run a private tile server for the entire planet in an 8GB virtual 
machine with access to 4 cores on my own server.  It has the postgres DB 
spread out over three 250GB SSD drives (three because I filled two and 
ended up with a week's worth of trying to recover and get my updates 
running again).

But running the tile server is the (relatively) easy part.  It's 
building the tile server to start with that was hard.  I gave my VM 28GB 
of RAM (anything less resulted in the planet import failing) and it ran 
for 3+ days, yes 24x3 hours, to get the initial planet imported.  And 
then another 1-2 days to catch up the deltas since that planet dump.

You can see the munin graphs of my tile server VM at the following URL 
although I see that my disk access graphs aren't working (again)...

My under-development APRSISMO APRS client for Android only accesses 
tiles from this tile server because I don't want potential coding errors 
to hit the main tile servers.  This server is also my ace-in-the-hole if 
APRSISCE/32's OSM tile server access is ever blocked.
