TilServer GL is a highly efficient map tile server that renders raster or vector maps in real-time. In this tutorial, we will go through a step-by-step guide on how to install TileServer GL on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we begin, you need to have administrative access to your OpenSUSE latest system. You must also have Node.js and Git installed on your system. If they are not installed, you need to run these commands:
$ sudo zypper update
$ sudo zypper install nodejs
$ sudo zypper install git
Now let's download and install TileServer GL.
First, we need to clone TileServer GL repository by running the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl.git
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the tileserver-gl directory by running:
$ cd tileserver-gl
Install the necessary dependencies by running:
$ npm install
After successfully installing dependencies, you can use tileserver-gl to serve your map tiles. To try it out, we will download some OpenMapTiles data. Run the following command to download OpenMapTiles:
$ wget https://openmaptiles.com/download/planet/latest/south-america.mbtiles
Now that we have our map data, we can use tileserver-gl to serve it. Run the following command to start serving map tiles:
$ tileserver-gl south-america.mbtiles
The server should now be up and running at http://localhost:8080. You can open your browser and visit that URL to view your maps!
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install TileServer GL on OpenSUSE Latest using Node.js and Git. You have also learned how to download OpenMapTiles and serve the tiles using TileServer GL. We hope this tutorial has been helpful to you in setting up TileServer GL on your OpenSUSE latest system.
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!
