TileServer GL is an open-source map tile server that serves vector and raster map tiles from MBTiles files with GL styles. It supports server-side rasterization of vector tiles via MapLibre GL Native and serves clients like MapLibre GL JS, Leaflet, OpenLayers, and GIS software via WMTS.
Use cases
- self-host a map tile server for web maps
- serve mbtiles vector tiles to MapLibre GL JS or Leaflet
- render raster tiles from vector tiles server-side
- serve WMTS endpoints for GIS software like QGIS
- host offline maps for mobile apps on Android and iOS
- run a dockerized tile server for a web mapping project
When to choose
- you need to serve vector or raster map tiles from MBTiles files
- you want server-side rasterization of vector tiles with GL styles
- you need WMTS compatibility for desktop GIS clients
- you want a docker-based, self-hosted tile server
When to avoid
- you need dynamic tile generation from a live database rather than prebuilt MBTiles
- you need a fully managed hosted map service
- you cannot install native dependencies and need server-side raster rendering (use tileserver-gl-light, which lacks rasterization)
