Everyone running their own tile servers is in theory a good idea, but in practice (at least last time I looked) it’s a nightmare to set up. If they want to push people in that direction, they could learn something from “certbot” from LetsEncrypt for example: if you give people a good enough wrapper that makes it relatively easy to self host and contribute to the network, they will. If they don’t understand how, they’ll just use a tile server from somewhere else.

- hnarn 6y agoHave you ever set it up? If so, how complicated was it to get it to work?
- Doctor_Fegg 6y agoI haven't, I'm afraid (I'm not greatly into Docker and vector tiles are more interesting these days anyway).
- iudqnolq 6y agoIf you're looking to set up osm2pgsql you might find my code useful. It's a wip hobby project by a student, so absolutely no promises about quality/correctness, but it shows basic usage. https://www.github.com/danielzfranklin/backpackingmap/tree/master/server%2Flib%2Fbackpackingmap%2Fosm%2Fsync%2Fsync.ex https://www.github.com/danielzfranklin/backpackingmap/tree/m...
