Mini-abstract
Tracking vandalisms is often not an easy task. To accomplish this activity I hardly find useful digging in the history of OSM changesets.
Instead OSMAT features a clean list of create/modifiy/deletes and tag changes; the latter one is particularly useful to track “advanced vandalism”.
OSMAT focuses on fast detection, so don’t expect to configure it on a national base, since rows will start to scroll too fast for spotting problems. For the same reason, OSMAT relies on minimal base of mappers and (quoting its wiki) “Improve[s] team spirit of a regional OSM team/task-force”.
The following installation procedure has been brought live on a OrangePi PC single-board computer. Here you can find a regional live instance for Friuli Venezia Giulia Italy.
Docker installation
OSMAT deployment is Docker based, so refer to Davide’s Docker installation
UPDATE: as from 2019-03-20 installation command quoted at the above link doesn’t work anymore for my debian jessie armhf. Please, use the following:
$ sudo curl -sSL https://github.com/moby/moby/raw/v1.13.1/hack/install.sh | sh
OSMAT download
Then download OSMAT sources:
$ git clone https://github.com/MichaelVL/osm-analytic-tracker.git
Check docker service
$ sudo service docker status
● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled)

OSMAT configure
Once you got docker up and running (I had to upgrade linux kernel > 3.10 for my Jessie Orange Pi) and before compiling container, you have to configure active region.
Default available regions are the ones defined by Geofabrik. For instance, navigate to nord-est, take note of .poly link (nowadays is https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/italy/nord-est.poly) and edit configuration file:
