@jakehewitt Can you tell how you soled it?

I have been working on trying to get arm support in my maplibre-native fork and made a test tileserver-gl arm64 with it includes it. would anyone here be willing to test?

wifidb/tileserver-gl:v5.0.4
https://hub.docker.com/r/wifidb/tileserver-gl/tags

I am trying to get my changes upstream to maplibre so they can be used here, but that is still a work in progress.

As a followup, when I try to install via npm I get this:

I have to run it using the --unsafe-perm flag because otherwise npm appears to have root permissions issues. This is a documented issue with npm.

Kind of at a loss here, not sure why I can't get this working. FWIW, I'm doing this on a Raspberry Pi 3.

Running full version of tileserver-gl on ARM is not supported at the moment.

It requires native dependencies, which are not easy to compile on ARM. So, AFAIK, it's not possible to create the compatible docker image either.

But! You should be able to run the tileserver-gl-light which has no native dependencies (see http://tileserver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#tileserver-gl-light-on-npm).

I am looking to use the vector rasterization process, so tileserver-gl-light would not be appropriate for that. I am building a standalone device and need to store world-wide map detail and serve it to myself. Any other suggestions?

from tileserver-gl.

@RedFiveAZ If you need the rasterization, then you must install the full version with all dependencies - so the light version will not help you.
You have to take one binary library after another from npm - and ensure every single one does compile correctly on ARM platform and can be properly installed. As this project is 100% open-source it is technically possible - but you must put a non-trivial effort into the task.

First step is direct native installation with npm. Docker container specific for ARM platform could be created from npm trivially, once direct installation runs.

@klokantech team is not going to work on this unless there is a client who requires this explicitly. Feel free to jump on this task - and provide a pull request. We would be glad to review.

I've also the same error, running on osgeo (ubuntu) and also with --unsafe-perm flag = true

@petrsloup Can we reopen this issue? This is still a valid request.

from tileserver-gl.

Still having issues with arm, has this really been solved?

from tileserver-gl.

Until we get the official ARM release for "tileserver-gl" on the docker

I have tested the following workaround on Raspbian (arm64) and it is working fine.

sudo docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install amd64

sudo docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/data -p 8080:80 --platform linux/amd64 maptiler/tileserver-gl

PS: I know it is not an optimal solution.

from tileserver-gl.

Works on arm64 @acalcutt!

from tileserver-gl.

In theory, arm64 support should now be included in maptiler/tileserver-gl:v4.3.2 . Can anyone still interested in this give it a test.

from tileserver-gl.

Working well on arm64 for new releases.
