kvtiles

kvtiles is a web server to embed and serve maps. Free map for all!

Regions are precomputed, simply pull the image and you are good to go.

Using the MVT format extracted from MBTiles, kvtiles is now using PMTiles.

In short this project provides self hosted map tiles.

Docker & Kubernetes

Main goal of kvtiles is to be run in Docker/Kubernetes.

You can browse all the different regions and levels via kvtiles docker tags

 docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 akhenakh/kvtiles:us-9-latest

Then point your browser to http://yourdockerip:8080/static/

An example deployment for kubernetes is located in cmd/kvtilesd.

APIs

Tiles are available at /tiles/{z:[0-9]+}/{x:[0-9]+}/{y:[0-9]+}.pbf, an optional key URL param can be passed to secure access to your tiles server, (use the tilesKey option).

Metrics are provided via Prometheus at http://host:httpMetricsPort/metrics.

A debug visual map is available at http://host:httpAPIPort/static/.

Health status is provided via gRPC host:healthPort or via HTTP http://host:httpAPIPort/healthz.

A http://host:httpAPIPort/version is giving you running version but also information on the dataset.

Application usage

To serve the DB use kvtilesd

Usage of ./cmd/kvtilesd/kvtilesd:
  -allowOrigin="*": Access-Control-Allow-Origin
  -dbPath="map.pmtiles": Pmtiles path
  -healthPort=6666: grpc health port
  -httpAPIPort=8080: http API port
  -httpMetricsPort=8088: http port
  -logLevel="INFO": DEBUG|INFO|WARN|ERROR
  -tilesKey="": A key to protect your tiles access

Create a map in PMTILES

Download an extract or a full planet of Openstreetmap in PBF format.

Create an MBTILES file using Planetiler.

You can use tippecanoe tile-join command to join smaller extends like continents to be able to build the planet.

Download the pmtiles binary for your system at go-pmtiles/Releases to convert from MBTILES to PMTILES.

pmtiles convert map.mbtiles map.pmtiles
