Default preview style and configuration

• If no configuration file is specified, a default preview style (compatible with openmaptiles) is used.

• If no data file is specified (and is not found in the current working directory), a sample file is downloaded (showing the Zurich area)

Reloading the configuration

It is possible to reload the configuration file without restarting the whole process by sending a SIGHUP signal to the node process.

• The docker kill -s HUP tileserver-gl command can be used when running the tileserver-gl docker container.

• The docker-compose kill -s HUP tileserver-gl-service-name can be used when tileserver-gl is run as a docker-compose service.

Docker and –port

When running tileserver-gl in a Docker container, using the –port option would make the container incorrectly seem unhealthy. Instead, it is advised to use Docker’s port mapping and map the default port 8080 to the desired external port.
