Tiles

Hacking a crude tile server together.

Setup

You will need docker + docker compose.

• Download an mbtiles file containing the tiles you want to use, and save it in the repo root.

• There is a free one available with world data here:

  • https://openmaptiles.com/downloads/tileset/osm/?usage=personal

• Update tilestaches.config with the local path to the just downloaded mbtiles, like so:

{
    "cache": {"name": "Test"},
    "layers": {
        "world": {
            "provider": {"name": "mbtiles", "tileset": "/server/<FILENAME HERE>"}
        }   
    }
}

• Finally:

$ make build

Run

$ make run

Use!

$ make open

Or:

• http://localhost

Voilá.
