selfhostmap

A complete solution to self host maps using pmtiles.

pmtiles can be served directly using HTTP range queries, but requires some additional js.
This solution aims at exposing the traditional MVT tiles /z/x/y format leveraging Caddy and a pmtiles plugin.

Styles and assets to display a map are embedded using osm-liberty-gl, so you don't have to, but any styles can be loaded.

It can serve local pmfiles, over HTTP or s3 storage.

Serve your map

See below if you don't know how to create your pmtiles files.

Parameters

• AREA: the name of the pmtiles files, "canada", "planet"...
• BUCKET: the directory bucket where to find the AREA file, "file:///home/user/GIS" or "http://myserver/files" or "s3://mybucket"
  see remote-urls.
• BASE_MAP_URL: the base url where the map will be available "http://192.168.1.3:8080"

Using Docker

docker run --rm -it -e AREA="canada" -e BUCKET="file:///data" -e BASE_MAP_URL="http://192.168.1.3:8080" ghcr.io/akhenakh/selfhostmap:main 

Using Caddy

You need to build Caddy with the pmtiles extension:

Install Caddy builder https://github.com/caddyserver/xcaddy

xcaddy build --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare --with github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles/caddy

Execute the resulting caddy binary:

AREA="canada" BUCKET="file:///home/user/maps" BASE_MAP_URL="http://localhost:8080" ./caddy run -c ./Caddyfile.local

BUCKET should point to the directory you saved your pmtiles files.

Point your browser to http://localhost:8080

QGIS

Works with QGIS:

Create a new Vector Tiles Connection:
URL: http://192.168.1.3:8080/tiles/planet/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt
Style: http://192.168.1.3:8080/osm-liberty-gl.json

Replace the url with your actual server.
Then add the layer to your map.

Create a map using planetiler

wget https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler/releases/latest/download/planetiler.jar
java -Xmx8g -jar planetiler.jar --download --area=france --output=france.pmtiles

See https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler for the options.
