Self Hosting a Google Maps Alternative with OpenStreetMap
Author here: the docker project for the tile server allows setting up automatic syncing fairly easily:
https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server#enabling-...
I'm not sure about Nominatim or Valhalla's ability to auto-sync the latest changes, at least with the dockerized version, but it may be possible.

Maps.earth – free and open-source web maps
We're in the same boat using Mapbox, we've been debating leaving for the OpenStreetMaps container since we only use them for static images and map display. https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server
Our bill last year was $80k and honestly its right on the cusp of being worth the effort to switch.

Show HN: Self-Hosted Maps Stack
My friend Alexander created an easy docker file[1] for an OSM tile server. I use it for nearly two years without problems.

Applying styles on tail server
I found this project on Github https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server .

Offline Map Tiles
Finally: https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server I haven't tried this one before, but it seems kind of cool, and seems to be what you're looking for?

[OC] Interactive Heatmap of Traffic Accidents Reported by the Missouri State Highway Patrol
I don't need to serve the whole country, but it's nice to have a little more than just Missouri, so I was pleased to find Protomaps. There are several other extract repositories, but this was the only one I found that let me define and export a custom region. For the actual generation and rendering of the tiles, it seemed easiest to use this existing docker project.

Why Openstreetmap as a product fails to compete with Google Maps – part 1/3
I think an easy to setup self-hosted vector/tile server could help increase adoption. I'am currently looking into replacing Mapbox with a self hosted solution. My last attempt ran out of disk space building the docker images (with european maps) from https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server. Haven't found the time to setup a larger VPS but this looks like a great project to get started.

Addresses - New Brunswick Canada
Importing data from other sources into OSM is almost always a long and complicated process. It's usually not the most accessible thing for new mappers. Try to find out where a project stalled. Maybe contact the author of the wiki page you mentioned, or get in contact with your local community (most channels should be listed on https://community.osm.be ). From your data user perspective: there's a small project called OpenSuperMap where the maintainer creates files for Osmand that contain both all OSM data and all the addresses from some official source. So you get all the usability without having to finish the import first. Have a look at https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation , maybe your region is already listed. If not, add an issue. The tool works with OpenAdresses.io so it should probably work.

Osm street numbers
For OsmAnd, /u/pnoll uses OpenAddresses to make OpenSuperMaps available as a replacement files for a limited set of geographic regions. In fact, those in covered regions can use them to work around a recent OsmAnd map data update problem.

OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder
Yes, I agree that data balkanization represents a significant hindrance for further development of openstreetmap. Fifteen or so years ago I was experimenting with importing DEM files from the US into Blender for landscaping, and finding the data was frustrating. Sometimes the data was available at a state website, other times at a federal website, sometimes also available on the website of that mapping program. Surveys within a given geopolitical constraint would be found on the website of whichever department provided the funding. I understanding that, even if ignoring legal realities, merging this data into a single "ground" (heh) truth would be a herculean task, scientifically. But there was no common database or delivery method. Some departments would link to FTP sites, other would provide arcgis downloads via an interactive web tool. I'd have to depend on user-maintained blog posts to even find the data. And the best data was always locked away behind secure portals that I couldn't get access to.
Nowadays openstreetmap is running into the same problem at the municipality level. In the US, if I understand correctly, geographic data is under copyright to whichever governing entity and not eligible for import into openstreetmap.
Take for example the excellent app Every Door (https://github.com/Zverik/every_door) with a focus on easily adding building information. In the US, openstreetmap has no address information. Either that or very little address information - but none in my area. So it'd be easy for me to add building nodes with house numbers but I won't be doing that. Not only is it a massive commitment, but the data is already available at openaddresses.io. The catch? It's "probably" license-compatible with openstreetmap. Before merging, all that data would have to be reviewed by a team of lawyers. That's not something a software developer can help with.
In existing threads here, a top complaint about OsmAnd is that lack of address information. Try planning a route without addresses, and without constantly switching to Google Maps to convert address to coordinates. Not very user friendly! Opensupermaps (https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation) is a user-maintained merge of openstreetmaps and openaddresses.io, but it doesn't integrate with OsmAnd's data update system.
And that's how data balkanization is breaking openstreetmap, right now.

OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap) 4.3 for Android is fast with a new rendering engine
While not ideal, I've found a usable solution.
This GitHub repo [1] has map files generated using OpenAddresses.
Load the appropriate one for your area and you can search using addresses in the normal format. They currently provide maps for North America, and are regenerated roughly monthly.
(Thank you pnoll1!)

I'm Done with Google
Try OSM. It is more reliable than google in performance now, believe it or not.
Address lookup is a shortcoming, and there's this https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation to help you get around that, and sometimes the routing algorithm used by Osmand in particular can be goofy from time to time, I can't speak to other clients. Finally, there's traffic, which is not a problem that can be resolved without collecting and processing data from all users, which I find unethical and so will live without.

Based on your experience, what is the best alternative to Google Maps?
There are 2 ways that address lookup can be fixed. The first is this Dev https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation/releases/tag/0.90 has a list of osm maps with address lookup built in. You download the ones you want and replace your map files with them and turn off auto update of maps. The second is an app in google play store called addresstogps 2 . You can enter the address then it gives the option to open the GPS coordinates for it in any app you choose. However it does use google as the search so its maybe not ideal for everyone.

Ask HN: How have you deGoogled your life?
For maps, You should add Organic maps. People tend to like the UI more than OsmAnd.
Personally, I use OsmAnd with custom map files for better address coverage: https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation.
