TileServer GL is a powerful tool for serving custom maps, based on open-source libraries such as Mapbox GL JS. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install TileServer GL on Fedora CoreOS Latest. This tutorial assumes that you have basic knowledge about Fedora CoreOS and the command-line interface.
Before beginning the installation process for TileServer GL, you need to update the Fedora CoreOS system by running the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree update
This command will download and install the latest updates for Fedora CoreOS.
For the installation of TileServer GL, Docker is required. Install Docker using the following commands:
sudo dnf -y install docker
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
This will install Docker and enable the Docker service.
Create a new directory where the map data will be stored. You can create this directory anywhere you like, but in this tutorial, we will create it in the home directory:
mkdir ~/tileserver/
Download and run the TileServer GL Docker image by running the following command:
sudo docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/data:/data -p 8080:80 klokantech/tileserver-gl
This will create a new Docker container with TileServer GL and mount the directory created in Step 3 as a volume inside the container. Port 8080 is also mapped to port 80 inside the container.
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080. You should see a Mapbox logo and a zoomable map. This means that TileServer GL is running successfully.
In this tutorial, we have installed TileServer GL on Fedora CoreOS Latest. TileServer GL is a great tool for serving custom maps, and it can be customized to fit your specific needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
