Tessellator

Django (1.6) web app for serving map tiles.

Configuration & Setup

Basic setup.

$ git clone tessellator
$ python -m virtualenv tessellator-env
$ /path/to/tessellator-env/bin/activate
$ cd tessellator
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Edit settings.py, change MBTILES_ROOT around line 91 to the local filesystem path that you are storing you *.mbtiles files.

The folder structure should look like this:

/path/to/tiles/
	file1.mbtiles
	file2.mbtiles
	group-a/
		file3.mbtiles
		file4.mbtiles
	group-b/
		file5.mbtiles

If there is a logical grouping of mbtiles databases, then they can be put in sub folders as above.
