PMTiles DataStore

This module provides support for Protomaps PMTiles as a vector data source in GeoServer.

PMTiles is a cloud-optimized single-file archive format for tiled data. It enables efficient access to vector tiles from:

• Local file systems
• HTTP/HTTPS servers with range request support
• Cloud object storage (Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage)

The format uses a hierarchical directory structure that allows random access to individual tiles without reading the entire file, making it ideal for serving large datasets directly from static storage without requiring a dedicated tile server.

• Installing the PMTiles DataStore Extension
• Using PMTiles DataStores

Features

• Read Mapbox Vector Tiles from PMTiles archives
• Support for multiple data sources (file, HTTP, S3, Azure, GCS)
• Memory caching with configurable block alignment for optimal performance
• Cloud-native workflows with HTTP range requests
• Authentication support for HTTP, S3, Azure, and GCS
