This Application has currently no Authentication

MNLRMap is a self-hosted map extraction and viewing application that allows you to create, manage, and view offline vector maps based on OpenStreetMap data using the PMTiles format.

Features

• Map Extraction: Select areas from OpenStreetMap to create custom vector map extracts
• Map Management: View, manage, delete, and recreate your map extracts through a user-friendly interface
• Offline Vector Maps: View your maps offline using MapLibre GL with PMTiles support
• Responsive UI: Modern interface built with Vue 3, TypeScript, and Quasar Framework
• Real-time Status Updates: Track the progress of map extractions in real-time
• Lightweight Backend: Powered by PocketBase and Go

How It Works

MNLRMap uses Protomaps technology to extract and serve vector maps. The application:

1. Extracts map data from OpenStreetMap based on user-defined bounding boxes
2. Processes the data into the PMTiles format for efficient storage and delivery
3. Stores maps in a local database for management
4. Serves maps through a MapLibre GL-powered frontend for smooth vector rendering

Use Cases

• Create offline maps for hiking, travel, or fieldwork
• Build custom maps for specific regions or points of interest
• Deploy in environments with limited internet connectivity
• Develop custom mapping applications with self-hosted map tiles

Deployment

Docker

You can deploy MNLRMap using the official Docker image from GitHub Container Registry:

docker run -d \
  --name mnlrmap \
  -p 8090:8090 \
  -v ./data:/db \
  ghcr.io/manuelraven/mnlrmap:latest

Docker Compose

For easier deployment, you can use this docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"
services:
  mnlrmap:
    image: ghcr.io/manuelraven/mnlrmap:latest
    container_name: mnlrmap
    ports:
      - "8090:8090"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/db
    restart: unless-stopped

Start the service with:

docker-compose up -d

Accessing the Application

After deployment, access MNLRMap through your web browser at:
