A server that can return custom mbtiles for Zooniverse projects. This repo runs Tileserver-GL under the hood via a Docker container.
Production @ zoomapper.zooniverse.org
(No staging deploy; keeping strategy is simple, single-dploy config.)
Please visit the wiki for more info.

The app serves data in two ways: makes data from local vector tiles files (in mbtiles format) available, and provides styling for externally hosted vector tiles.
Local mbtile files are contained within the "mbtiles" folder.
Consider a falklands.mbtiles file contained in the mbtiles directory of this repo. That, alongside the falklands definition in the config.json file:
{
"options": {
"paths": {
"root": "",
"mbtiles": "mbtiles"
}
},
"data": {
"falklands": {
"mbtiles": "falklands.mbtiles" // file location here
}
}
}
Causes the falklands.mbtiles tileset to deploy to the appropriate route (https://zoomapper-staging.zooniverse.org/data/falklands/#8/-52/-59). Note the 'data' inclusion in the route.
Should you need to upload new tiles, place the tileset in the mbtiles folder, then add the route name into the config.json "data" key, which also includes the name of the relevant "mbtiles" file.
Styled versions of remote vector tiles are accessible via styles endpoint (e.g., https://zoomapper.zooniverse.org/styles/basic/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg) where styles are configured in config.json and defined in styles/<StyleName>/<style.json> file.
There is intentionally only a production deploy of this service. Deployment occurs via chatops (lita deploy zoomapper) to https://zoomapper.zooniverse.org.
