fdean/tile-server repository overview

The container can be run with:

docker run -p 8080:80 --name tile-server -d --rm fdean/tile-server

Wait for the container to start up. It'll probably take a minute or so:

docker container logs --follow tile-server

1. Navigate your browser to http://<host-ip-address>:8080/renderd-example-map/ to view a map of the world.

2. Zoom into Luxembourg, Europe.

3. When finished, stop the container with:

   docker stop tile-server
   

   Copy

⁠Using External Volumes

Using external volumes avoids the need to re-create the OSM database and also avoids re-generating previously rendered tiles.

1. Create the volume

   docker volume create osm-data && \
   docker volume create osm-tiles
   

   Copy

2. Run the container, specifying the volume

   docker run -p 8080:80 --name tile-server -d --rm -e \
   PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data \
   -v osm-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
   -v osm-tiles:/var/cache/renderd/tiles fdean/tile-server
   

   Copy

   Thereafter, re-run with the same command to re-use the database that has been created on the external volume.

3. When finished, stop the container with:

   docker stop tile-server
   

   Copy

4. To delete the volumes

   docker volume rm osm-data && \
   docker volume rm osm-tiles
   

   Copy
