Does this not require a massive database of tiles?
I ask because I've been looking to self host some sort of map tile server and they seem to have database in the hundreds of GB.
- packet_mover 9mo agoGood question. Corviont is region-focused (you package one region), not "host the whole planet". Hundreds of GB is usually the full planet at high zoom / lots of layers. Also it’s not one giant tile DB - there are 3 datasets: - map tiles (PMTiles) - routing tiles (Valhalla tiles) - geocoder index (SQLite) For Monaco all three are tiny - you can see the exact files here: https://github.com/corviont/monaco-demo/tree/main/data https://github.com/corviont/monaco-demo/tree/main/data For small countries like Austria/Slovakia, each is typically hundreds of MB.
- KomoD 9mo agoThe size of the tiles will depend on how much detail you want. Maptiler has a bunch of datasets, anywhere from 385MB to 527GB but the OSM dataset is only 70GB. (MBTiles format)
