TerraStories Tile Server

Tile Server

The source for TileServer GL is available at https://github.com/klokantech/tileserver-gl

We'll be using its docker image klokantech/tileserver-gl.

Start the tile server

This should be run from the project root directory.

$ docker-compose up tileserver

To run just this container on its own, we would run something like this.

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/data -p 8080:80 klokantech/tileserver-gl

Let's break those options down a little bit:

• --rm automatically removes the container when it stops
• -it establishes an interactive tty session so we can see the output
• -v maps the current working directory to a docker data volume mounted on the container at /data, exposing our local mbtile files so the server can find them
• -p forwards the container's port 80 to localhost port 8080
