osm2vectortiles/tileserver

Tileserver

Render raster data from vector tiles and style projects on the fly with the help of tessera.

You plug in your own vector tiles and style projects and get a raster tile server.

Kitematic Usage

Start a new container by searching for lukasmartinelli/tileserver (in future geometalab/tileserver). The container will complain about missing tm2 style projects.

Mount your mbtiles files and tm2 style projects into the /data volume.

Now restart the container. You should be up and running serving generated raster tiles.

Docker Usage

Assuming you are in the folder containing your mbtiles files and tm2 style projects.

docker run -p 80:80 -v $(pwd):/data osm2vectortiles/tileserver

Visit localhost:80 to see a leaflet map of the rendered raster tiles.

Vector Tiles Source Configuration

The tileserver is meant to server the tiles from your own vector tiles. You can develop your stylesheet with a local tm2source source or a mapbox source but once you serve the tiles you need to reference a mbtiles source.

If you have a mbtiles file named the same as your tm2 project in the data directory, the server will automatically replace your previous source with a new source.

Given the current folder contains the following files and directories.

├── countries.tm2
└── countries.mbtiles

The original source mapbox:///klokantech.97cbd1e1 in the project.yml will now be replaced with mbtiles:///data/countries.mbtiles.
