Self hosted maps for (practically) free
Tilemaker is tool for transforming map data. We can use it to take our source .osm.pbf file and transform it into a .pmtiles file. The best thing about Tilemaker is that you can use a lua script to organize map features into layers however you want. In this post I am going to take trail data (osm tag highway=path) and make it available for much higher zoom levels than it is normally available. I want my map to show trails when zoomed really far out.

OpenStreetMap's New Vector Tiles
> Static or infrequently updated vector tiles can be generated from OSM data by a number of tools, but those most popular right now are https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker and https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler
this is the first I've seen of these alternative tools compared to using Tippecanoe(https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe). Are they considered to be higher performance?

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
You can download an extract of your country from Geofabrik, run it through Tilemaker (https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker) to get a nice mbtiles file, and then use the built-in Ruby server to give you something you can load in your web-browser locally.

How The Post is replacing Mapbox with open source solutions
I ran into this solution last week on HN and decided to give it a try. The pipeline that got me up and running was geofabrik osm.pbf[0] downloads, pass those into tilemaker[1] to create mbtiles, and then pass those into pmtiles[2] to make the pmtiles.
