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 8080:8080 wifidb/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 ... wifidb/tileserver-gl --mbtiles my-tiles.mbtiles
– explicitly specify which mbtiles to use (if you have more in the folder)docker run ... wifidb/tileserver-gl --verbose
– to see the default config created automatically
npm¶
Just run npm install -g @acalcutt/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
@acalcutt/tileserver-gl-light
on npm¶
Alternatively, you can use @acalcutt/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.
From source¶
Make sure you have Node v18 (nvm install 18) and run:
npm install
node .
On OSX¶
Make sure to have dependencies of canvas package installed:
brew install pkg-config cairo libpng jpeg giflib
