Development

Note: Intended for the development of other apps, not the tileserver itself.

Prerequisites

1. Install the following:

• Docker

2. Copy the docker-compose.example to docker-compose.yml and add a /data folder (if missing)

cp docker-compose.example docker-compose.yml
mkdir data

3. Download the map data (.zip) and extract it inside /data

• *Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei Map Pack [1.4GB] (Google Drive)

Usage

To run the server:

docker compose up

To stop the server:

docker compose down

To checkout the map tiles and preview the styles & layers, open up http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

You can use this tileserver to provide map for your client-side apps. Works well with client-side mapping library such as leaflet.js and mapbox

TODO

• Add more map styles (dark mode, terrain etc)
• Create a Dockerfile image of the tileserver
• Add API key feature for securing endpoints
