Usage
=====
Getting started
======
::
Usage: main.js tileserver-gl [mbtiles] [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
--mbtiles <file> MBTiles file (uses demo configuration);
ignored if the configuration file is also specified
-c, --config <file> Configuration file [config.json]
-b, --bind <address> Bind address
-p, --port <port> Port [8080]

-V, --verbose More verbose output
-s, --silent Less verbose output
-v, --version Version info
Default preview style and configuration
======
- If no configuration file is specified, a default preview style (compatible with openmaptiles) is used.
- If no mbtiles file is specified (and is not found in the current working directory), a sample file is downloaded (showing the Zurich area)
Reloading the configuration
======
It is possible to reload the configuration file without restarting the whole process by sending a SIGHUP signal to the node process.
- The `docker kill -s HUP tileserver-gl` command can be used when running the tileserver-gl docker container.
- The `docker-compose kill -s HUP tileserver-gl-service-name` can be used when tileserver-gl is run as a docker-compose service.
Docker and `--port`
======
When running tileserver-gl in a Docker container, using the `--port` option would make the container incorrectly seem unhealthy.
Instead, it is advised to use Docker's port mapping and map the default port 8080 to the desired external port.
