MAP tile server

[bragofsky]

Hello,

I want to run map plugin in a offline network, for that I know that I need to build my own tile server to get map working. My question is, is there a way to use static png or jpeg file instead of tile server?

Regards

Hi,

Definitely it is possible, but you need to do some research by yourself.
The general sequence:
1. Download tiles of the required area.
2. Run local web server that provides tiles.
3. Specify your local web server in a map XML file.

How can I export a large zone from OpenStreetMap?

[Mikhail]

Tiles should be available by a path like this
https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
s – scale

When you do it, please share your experience.

Hello Mikhail, thanks for you reply,

I took the easiest way to have a tile server working,

Fist I install docker in a centos VM, then get a tile server turn key container, run it on centos vm, imported maps to database and voilá…. tile server working.

Good!
Is it heavy?

What do you mean with heavy?

[Mikhail]

I mean, do you need powerful machine for maintain real map server?

Since I download a very small map, only for my area, the server run’s very smooth with 1% of cpu effort
