TileServer GL

Build Status Docker Hub

Vector and raster maps with GL styles. Server side rendering by Mapbox GL Native. Map tile server for Mapbox GL JS, Android, iOS, Leaflet, OpenLayers, GIS via WMTS, etc.

Get Started

Make sure you have Node.js version 6 installed (running node -v it should output something like v6.11.3).

Install tileserver-gl with server-side raster rendering of vector tiles with npm

npm install -g tileserver-gl

Now download vector tiles from OpenMapTiles.

curl -o zurich_switzerland.mbtiles https://openmaptiles.os.zhdk.cloud.switch.ch/v3.3/extracts/zurich_switzerland.mbtiles

Start tileserver-gl with the downloaded vector tiles.

tileserver-gl zurich_switzerland.mbtiles

Alternatively, you can use the tileserver-gl-light package instead, which is pure javascript (does not have any native dependencies) and can run anywhere, but does not contain rasterization on the server side made with MapBox GL Native.

Using Docker

An alternative to npm to start the packed software easier is to install Docker on your computer and then run in the directory with the downloaded MBTiles the command:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/data -p 8080:80 klokantech/tileserver-gl

This will download and start a ready to use container on your computer and the maps are going to be available in webbrowser on localhost:8080.

On laptop you can use Docker Kitematic and search "tileserver-gl" and run it, then drop in the 'data' folder the MBTiles.

Documentation

You can read full documentation of this project at http://tileserver.readthedocs.io/.

Offline development to fix styles

Tool and instructions: https://openmaptiles.org/docs/style/maputnik/ Run the maputnik executable to start a server on localhost:8000, open your browser and visit the address.

To inspect and make temporary changes to our styles you can load them using the live tileJSON URLs either for dev or prod. To load the map data that we use make sure you use the live URL that points to the data OSM2Vector tileJSON.
