Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Resources & Compatibility

Requirements not published yet.

First-install notes

  • Install the SDK before adding map code Run npm install --save @maptiler/sdk in your project. If you use other MapTiler modules, make sure they are compatible with SDK v3, or the map can fail to start. source
  • Test with a simple point layer Use helpers.addPoint with a local GeoJSON file, like public-schools.geojson. If the file path is wrong or missing, the map may load with no points and you may think the map is broken. source
  • Set the map projection in the style Add a top-level projection option such as globe or mercator when loading the style. This controls the map’s 3D globe or flat look, so setting it avoids a confusing default view. source

Common questions

What Docker mount and port mapping does the example deployment use?

Mount your local config or map data directory to /data and publish host port 8080 to container port 8080.

How do I add my own custom data to self-hosted maps?

Process your data into a map-ready format with MapTiler Engine before adding it to the map.

Does MapTiler Server include on-prem geocoding?

Yes, on-prem geocoding is available for self-hosted maps.

Where are reverse proxy and cache deployment topics covered?

The deployment section covers Host header poisoning mitigation, Cloudflare Cache Rules, Nginx Cache, and Nginx Reverse Proxy.

What compatibility detail can prevent a MapTiler JS map from starting?

Other MapTiler modules must be compatible with SDK v3, and the SDK should be installed before adding map code.
