A container to host a small Leaflet website that can be customized to point to any compatible tile server.
This image is for quickly setting up a web front-end to preview changes to a tile server, who could also be running in Docker.
You can either pull this image from the Docker Registry Hub:
$ sudo docker pull openfirmware/nginx-leaflet
Or you can build your image directly from my Github repository:
$ sudo docker build -t openfirmware/nginx-leaflet https://github.com/openfirmware/docker-nginx-leaflet.git
You can run the container with no ENV options to run an instance of Leaflet that points to the primary OpenStreetMap servers.
$ sudo docker run -it -p 8080:80 openfirmware/nginx-leaflet
Checking your Docker host port 8080 should display a Leaflet map, with OSM tiles. If you want to customize the tiles and run MapQuest OSM:
$ sudo docker run -it -p 8080:80 -e "TILESERVER=http://otile1.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/map/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg" -e "ATTRIBUTION=Tiles Courtesy of <a href=\"http://www.mapquest.com/\" target=\"_blank\">MapQuest</a> <img src=\"http://developer.mapquest.com/content/osm/mq_logo.png\">" openfirmware/nginx-leaflet
The Tile Server URL template is documented in the Leaflet API. This should launch a docker container that displays a Leaflet map using tiles from MapQuest.
Here are some sample tile servers you can test. More can be found on the OpenStreetMap wiki for Tile Servers.
$ sudo docker run -it -p 8080:80 -e "TILESERVER=http://otile1.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/sat/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg" -e "ATTRIBUTION=Tiles Courtesy of <a href=\"http://www.mapquest.com/\" target=\"_blank\">MapQuest</a> <img src=\"http://developer.mapquest.com/content/osm/mq_logo.png\">" openfirmware/nginx-leaflet
