Using vector tiles on Nextcloud Maps
Nextcloud Maps uses raster tiles by default, but it also supports vector tiles which looks nicer. Navigate to Nextcloud administration > Additional settings (<nextcloud-domain>/settings/admin/additional
) > Maplibre settings. Set the style url as https://tiles.openfreemap.org/styles/liberty
.
The style url can be set to other map providers. I use OpenFreeMap because it’s free and doesn’t need an API key. It’s available in 4 styles.
Maplibre uses WebGL to render the vector tiles, so if your browser block WebGL by default, your Nextcloud domain (not openfreemap.org
) needs to be allowlisted for it.
