datasette-tiles

Datasette plugin for serving MBTiles map tiles

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

$ datasette install datasette-tiles

Demo

You can try this plugin out at https://datasette-tiles-demo.datasette.io/-/tiles

Usage

This plugin scans all database files connected to Datasette to see if any of them are valid MBTiles databases.

It can then serve tiles from those databases at the following URL:

/-/tiles/db-name/zoom/x/y.png

An example map for each database demonstrating the configured minimum and maximum zoom for that database can be found at /-/tiles/db-name

Visit /-/tiles for an index page of attached valid databases.

You can install the datasette-basemap plugin to get a basemap default set of tiles, handling zoom levels 0 to 6 using OpenStreetMap.
