Installation
============

Docker
======

When running docker image, no special installation is needed -- the docker will automatically download the image if not present.

Just run ``docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/data -p 8080:8080 maptiler/tileserver-gl``.

Additional options (see :doc:`/usage`) can be passed to the TileServer GL by appending them to the end of this command. You can, for example, do the following:

* ``docker run ... maptiler/tileserver-gl --file my-tiles.mbtiles`` -- explicitly specify which mbtiles to use (if you have more in the folder)
* ``docker run ... maptiler/tileserver-gl --verbose`` -- to see the default config created automatically
