Installation¶
Docker¶
When running docker image, no special installation is needed – the docker will automatically download the image if not present.
Just run docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/data -p 8080:80 maptiler/tileserver-gl
.
Additional options (see Usage) can be passed to the TileServer GL by appending them to the end of this command. You can, for example, do the following:
docker run ... maptiler/tileserver-gl --mbtiles my-tiles.mbtiles
– explicitly specify which mbtiles to use (if you have more in the folder)docker run ... maptiler/tileserver-gl --verbose
– to see the default config created automatically
npm¶
Just run npm install -g tileserver-gl
.
Native dependencies¶
There are some native dependencies that you need to make sure are installed if you plan to run the TileServer GL natively without docker. The precise package names you need to install may differ on various platforms.
- These are required on Debian 11:
libgles2-mesa
libegl1
xvfb
xauth
libopengl0
libcurl4
curl
libuv1-dev
libc6-dev
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libj/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo8_2.0.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu66_66.1-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb
- These are required on Ubuntu 20.04:
libcairo2-dev
libjpeg8-dev
libpango1.0-dev
libgif-dev
build-essential
g++
xvfb
libgles2-mesa-dev
libgbm-dev
libxxf86vm-dev
tileserver-gl-light
on npm¶
Alternatively, you can use tileserver-gl-light
package instead, which is pure javascript (does not have any native dependencies) and can run anywhere, but does not contain rasterization features.
