This is a Docker image for Mapbox's Tippecanoe⁠, based on Alpine Linux.

The currently built version at the latest tag is 1.30.1.

⁠Usage

Run with docker run, mounting a local directory or use Docker volumes as needed wth -v. See below for specific examples. By default, processes will be run with the tippecanoe user in its home directory: /home/tippecanoe.

⁠Show tippecanoe version

Default command shows tippecanoe version.

docker run --rm shuntak/tippecanoe

⁠Interactive Mode with sh (ash)

Bash is not installed.

docker run -it --rm shuntak/tippecanoe /bin/sh

⁠Non-interactive: Directly Invoke Tippecanoe

Alternatively, you can run tippecanoe directly. This is more useful in a script running on the host.

docker run -it -v `pwd`:/home/tippecanoe --rm shuntak/tippecanoe tippecanoe -o output.mbtiles input.geojson

⁠Building A Different Version

To build a different version of Tippecanoe, set the TIPPECANOE_RELEASE build-arg when building the image:

docker build --build-arg TIPPECANOE_RELEASE=1.30.0 .

Note that different versions may have different dependency requirements, so the build may fail, or the build output may be broken.
