Update: So if you run the server locally and select maps, you're presented with this screen, saying you need a key from openmaptiles.com: https://i.imgur.com/NTb5zIL.jpg.

If you select "commercial product or company web", you're asked to pay for it: https://i.imgur.com/TrAmju4.jpg

If you select any of the non-commercial ones, the newest map data you get is from 2017 (!).

I'm not against paying, but it's not free!

Docs for building the tiles yourself are here [0,1]. It's worked really well for me so far. If you want a visual example of self hosted tiles, you can check out my (in progress) website [2]. The tiles are all hosted statically in S3 with cloudflare as a proxy, so it was pretty cheap.

The point is to generate your own; the purchasing option is if you don't want to generate your own, but want something done for you and packaged.

See here: https://openmaptiles.org/docs/generate/generate-openmaptiles...

Thanks, I will look into that. It's not altogether clear from their site — their Docker image basically implies that you're supposed to use their pre-existing datasets, which aren't free.

You can find free OSM PBF data sets. eg. https://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/california.ht...
