2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
There is a beta of Organic Maps for Linux. Check out bottom of this page: https://organicmaps.app/
I would still want to to know if I can selfhost something of similar, low complexity in my home network.

Apple Maps wrongly lists restaurant permanently closed, costing owner thousands
I live in a country in Europe where roaming is prohibitively expensive, so use offline OpenStreetMap abroad a lot, with different apps, mostly https://organicmaps.app
- Organic Maps â OSM login feature doesn't pass Google Play review

Quairading shire erects signs telling travellers to ignore Google Maps
https://organicmaps.app/ is well suited for (completely) offline routing.

Osmapp â A Universal OpenStreetMap App
Personally I am using [organicmaps](https://organicmaps.app/) which is using OpenStreetMap data, and it works really well.

In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users
https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/1694
... right now your bookmarks aren't synchronised anywhere so if you lose your phone all your bookmarks are gone.
When that's working I'll change over in a second!

Why do maps apps have essentially no caching?
Organic Maps is offline until it needs to download updated map information from Open Maps data.

Search just finds whatever matches sorted by distance so it may not fit one's needs.

Plan route trip app with a 3D map
Maps.me (iOS, Android), or the 'non-commercial' version of it Organic Maps (iOS, Android). Both apps are free.

Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API
You might want to peek at https://github.com/headwaymaps/headway . I have never used it myself, but it at least shows how to integrate the different pieces.
The individual software components often have alternative with a similar scope. So if you don't like a choice headwaymaps made, browse around.
The data sources are mostly "unique", i.e. everybody downloads from the pages (Geofabrik, Who's On First, etc), so not much to gain here.
Editing styles has some alternatives, but the OpenSource editors are far away from the quality of the Mapbox editor. Maputnik or editing the 1000+ SLOC JSON by hand are the way to go, imo.
Personally I use GeoFabrik to download OSM extracts â osmconvert to extract the smaller bounding box I am interested in â tilemaker to render vector tiles to individual .pbf files I can serve like it's 1999. The bounding box extract is not necessary, but it's much faster if you need to tweak things in tilemaker. Both tilemaker and osmconvert are packaged for at least Debian out of the box, so setup is easy enough. Rendering a decently sized metro area takes < 30mins with this from scratch of compute, < 5min with the bounding box extract.
Note that adding icons (sprites) or fonts is extra work that comes on top. And while the tools themselves are great, there's still a lot of gluing/plumbing/fitting things together that you'll need to do. If headwaymaps works for you, it's probably the easiest choice.
- Google Location History-type program, but on a private server for anyone to run?

Self Hosting a Google Maps Alternative with OpenStreetMap
In a similar vain, there is maps.earth / headway:
