+OpenFreeMap is an open and free OpenStreetMap tile hosting service.
+It's truly free: there is no limit on the amount of map views or requests you can make or how you use your map. There is no registration page, user database, API keys nor cookies.
+It's truly open source: everything, including the full production setup is on GitHub.
+OpenStreetMap is one of the most important collective projects in history. More than 2 million users have contributed to it over 19 years; 3 million edits are made each day.
+Unfortunately, when you want to use the map on your website or app, you need to look for a commercial map tile provider and hope your site doesn't get too popular, otherwise you might end up with a $10,000 bill in a single day, like Hoodmaps did *.
+You can try self-hosting, but it requires a big server and a lot of time to get it right.
+I'm Zsolt Ero (twitter, blog). I've created MapHub and I've been running map hosting in production for 8 years.
+Include MapLibre GL JS in <head>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/maplibre-gl/dist/maplibre-gl.js"></script>
+<link
+ href="https://unpkg.com/maplibre-gl/dist/maplibre-gl.css"
+ rel="stylesheet"
+/>
+And initialize it to a div, like this:
+<div id="map" style="width: 600px; height: 400px"></div>
+
+<script>
+ const map = new maplibregl.Map({
+ style: "https://tiles.openfreemap.org/styles/liberty",
+ center: [-74.5, 40],
+ zoom: 9,
+ container: "map",
+ });
+</script>
+If you've used Mapbox GL before, please migrate to MapLibre. It is based on the last open-source version of Mapbox GL, before it went closed-source. A Leaflet based snippet is coming soon.
+For mobile apps, you can do the same with MapLibre Native.
+You can also download our processed planet MBTiles and BTRFS images if you want to self-host yourself. Details are in the GitHub at hyperknot/openfreemap.

+There is no technical reason why vector tile hosting should cost as much as it does today.
+Vector tiles are just static files. OK, serving 300 million files is not easy, but at the end of the day they are just files.
+Financially, the plan is to keep buying Hetzner servers until they cover the bandwidth. I believe it can work if enough people contribute. If this project helps you save your map hosting costs, please consider our support plans!
+The map schema is OpenMapTiles.
+The tiles are generated by Planetiler.
+There is no tile server running, only BTRFS partition images with 300 million hard linked files.
+The server is nginx on Ubuntu.
+There is no cloud, just dedicated servers on Hetzner.
+Currently using Cloudflare, but it's designed so that it can be changed any time.
+Moreover, a lot of work is going into customising the styles at openfreemap-styles.
+I would have loved to use PMTiles, they are a brilliant idea!
+Unfortunately, making range requests in 80 GB files is just not working in production. They are fine for < 500 MB files, but have terrible latency and caching issues for full planet datasets.
