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 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
