Email me. I'll give you a server to further development. All the good open source tile servers have pivoted into commercial businesses, and I'd like to support the development of a project that stays open.

My friend Alexander created an easy docker file[1] for an OSM tile server. I use it for nearly two years without problems. [1] https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server

Fully open: - https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker (for generating tiles) - https://github.com/systemed/mod_mbtiles https://github.com/systemed/mod_mbtiles (for serving them) tilemaker is similar to planetiler which OP is using (it's more configurable but also more memory-hungry).

One might not need tiles for personal uses, though. If you're not intent on scaling to the level of Google, a tile server seems almost like an overkill. And on some platforms, such as Windows, UMN MapServer is massively easier to install in my experience (not to mention its flexibility).

That sounds wonderful! This project is primarily focused on people who want to self-host a google maps replacement, but self-hosting isn't for everyone so I think it would be really cool to host an instance that would work for most people. I'd love for it to grow beyond that though, because lots of people need tiles for static maps or other uses. I will need to re-architect the docker config a bit before it will work at planet scale, because right now mbtiles are bundled with the tileserver image.

What about openmaptiles.org?

  They turned into MapTiler, a commercial service.

  They don't host anything IIRC. But most of the FOSS maps ecosystem is based around their schema. I know Planetiler uses it at least.

I wrote one years ago, I just put it in a gist: https://gist.github.com/raggi/d5c8cad1d3c7b25c6748d8322d3c1453 https://gist.github.com/raggi/d5c8cad1d3c7b25c6748d8322d3c14... happy to share experiences, etc.

  I guess I should mention, I have Go code for gtfs too, if it's of interest I can extract that too and get it up somewhere.
