• Create Docker for Tilemill releases:#2742
• Create Survey of Users:#2743
• Get Funding for Tilemill:#2744

TileMill is a modern map design studio powered byNode.js andMapnik.

• TileMill is tested on Linux with Node 8.11.3 LTS, and on MacOS 10.14 with Node 8.15.0 lts/carbon
• TileMill currently only works in server mode, there is no standalone GUI. Your browser is used for the interface.
• There are no native packages provided. Installation requires cloning this repo. See details below underInstallation.
• Tilemill should theoretically work on the Windows platform, but it isn't tested.

• Mapnik > v3.6.2 (but may work on earlier versions)
• Node.js: (earlier Node.js versions may work, but are not tested)
  • Ubuntu: v8.11.x
  • OSX: v8.15.x lts/carbon
• Protobuf: Ubunto: these need to be installed: libprotobuf-lite and protoc

git clone https://github.com/tilemill-project/tilemill.gitcd tilemillnvm install lts/carbonnvm use v8.15.0npm installnpm start

Scripts have been created that will do most everything for you. They were written for MacOS, but may still be usable for Ubunto and Windows with some modification. (If you are successful with Ubunto and Windows, please post an Issue to let us know!)

Installation Script Instructions

Full Installation instructions can be found in the TileMill Documentation.

It is also possible to run tilemill as a docker container:

git clone https://github.com/tilemill-project/tilemill.gitcd tilemilldocker-compose up

This will host a docker container which uses the port 20008 and 20009 for tilemill, tilemill is then reachable underhttp://localhost:20009 .Additionally, a postgis instance is started as well which is reachable under

host=localhost port=5432 user=docker password=docker dbname=gis

Docker hosted volumes are used for the containers, hence if you want to use sqlite dbs you have to interact with those to get the dbs into the docker container.
