Show HN: Offline tiles and routing and geocoding in one Docker Compose stack
Hi HN,
I’m building Corviont, a self-hosted offline maps appliance (tiles + routing + search) for edge/on-prem devices.
Hosted demo (no install): https://demo.corviont.com/
Self-host (Docker Compose repo): https://github.com/corviont/monaco-demo
Docs: https://www.corviont.com/docs
What’s inside:
- Vector tiles served locally (PMTiles)
- Routing served locally (Valhalla)
- Offline geocoding/search + reverse (SQLite Nominatim-based index)
- MapLibre UI wired to the local endpoints
After the initial image + data pulls, it runs fully offline (no external map/routing/geocoding API calls).Next (if people need it): a signed on-device updater for regional datasets (verify → atomic swap → reload).
I’d love feedback: where offline maps/routing/search matters for you, and what constraints bite (hardware, fleet size, update windows, regions, deployment style).
