## What it is
A Docker image that packages a complete OpenStreetMap PNG tile server, based on the switch2osm Ubuntu guide. It imports .osm.pbf extracts into PostgreSQL and serves rendered map tiles with optional automatic updates.

## Use cases
- self-host an openstreetmap tile server
- render map tiles from an osm.pbf extract
- serve custom map tiles for a web app with leaflet
- run an offline openstreetmap tile server
- keep osm map data up to date automatically

## When to choose
- you want a one-command OSM tile server without manually installing postgres, mod_tile, and renderd
- you need tiles for a specific region from a Geofabrik extract
- you want automatic replication-based updates for bounded extracts

## When to avoid
- you need vector tiles or a custom map style out of the box
- you want a managed/hosted tile service rather than running your own infrastructure
- you need planet-scale rendering with heavy tuning

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: self-hosted, deployment, http-server, geospatial
- domain: self-hosted, web-development
