Always on the lookout for self-hosted map servers, so I'll definitely try this one out.
Slightly off-topic, one thing I'm having a hard time finding is satellite imagery. I need to self-host an offline web application using CesiumJS, and while I can spin up a map server, I can't find satellite imagery for free or cheap. I've used MapTiler[0], their server works great and they offer low-res satellite imagery for free/testing, but their high-res images are out of my price range.
Anyone know of resources for downloading offline images of satellite imagery, compatible with OpenFreeMap or other server for use with CesiumJS? Doesn't have to be super recent images but would be nice.

- hyperknot 2y agoSatellite images are definitely expensive, they are by far the biggest cost for MapHub. I spend more on satellite images per month than on servers. I couldn't find a high quality satellite images from free sources.
- kisamoto 2y agoCurrently researching this myself? Have you explored the satellite images from ESA/NASA? They are painful to discover but they're available to download for free and fairly (3-6 months) up to date.
- sphars 2y agoI have, though admittedly not deeply enough. Agreed about the discoverability though, I never could quite find what I'm looking for (and perhaps I don't know exactly what I'm looking for)
