# Self-host maps server
The self-host maps server for OpenSearch Dashboards allows users to access the default maps service in air-gapped environments. OpenSearch-compatible map URLs include a map manifest with map tiles and vectors, the map tiles, and the map vectors.
The following sections provide steps for setting up and using the self-host maps server with OpenSearch Dashboards.
You can access the `maps-server` image via the official OpenSearch [Docker Hub repository](https://hub.docker.com/u/opensearchproject).
{: .note}
## Pull Docker image
Open your terminal and run the following command:
`docker pull opensearch/opensearch-maps-server`
## Set up the server
You must set up the map tiles before running the server. You have two setup options: Use the OpenSearch-provided maps service tiles set, or generate the raster tiles set.
### Option 1: Use the OpenSearch-provided maps service tiles set
Create a Docker volume to hold the tiles set:
`docker volume create tiles-data`
Download the tiles set from the OpenSearch maps service. Two planet tiles sets are available based on the desired zoom level:
- Zoom Level 8 (https://maps.opensearch.org/offline/planet-osm-default-z0-z8.tar.gz)
- Zoom level 10 (https://maps.opensearch.org/offline/planet-osm-default-z0-z10.tar.gz)
The planet tiles set for zoom level 10 (2 GB compressed/6.8 GB uncompressed) is approximately 10 times larger than the set for zoom level 8 (225 MB compressed/519 MB uncompressed).
{: .note}
```
docker run \
-e DOWNLOAD_TILES=https://maps.opensearch.org/offline/planet-osm-default-z0-z8.tar.gz \
-v tiles-data:/usr/src/app/public/tiles/data/ \
opensearch/opensearch-maps-server \
import
```
### Option 2: Generate the raster tiles set
To generate the raster tiles set, use the [raster tile generation pipeline](https://github.com/opensearch-project/maps/tree/main/tiles-generation/cdk) and then use the tiles set absolute path to create a volume to start the server.
## Start the server
Use the following command to start the server using the Docker volume `tiles-data`. The following command is an example using host URL "localhost" and port "8080":
```
docker run \
-v tiles-data:/usr/src/app/public/tiles/data/ \
-e HOST_URL='http://localhost' \
-p 8080:8080 \
opensearch/opensearch-maps-server \
run
```
Or, if you generated the raster tiles set, run the server using that tiles set:
```
docker run \
-v /absolute/path/to/tiles/:/usr/src/app/dist/public/tiles/data/ \
-p 8080:8080 \
opensearch/opensearch-maps-server \
run
```
To access the tiles set, open the URLs in a browser on the host or use the `curl` command `curl http://localhost:8080/manifest.json`.
Confirm the server is running by opening each of the following links in a browser on your host or with a `curl` command (for example, `curl http://localhost:8080/manifest.json`).
* Map manifest URL: `http://localhost:8080/manifest.json`
* Map tiles URL: `http://localhost:8080/tiles/data/{z}/{x}/{y}.png`
* Map tiles demo URL: `http://localhost:8080/`
## Use the self-host maps server with OpenSearch Dashboards
You can use the self-host maps server with OpenSearch Dashboards by either adding the parameter to `opensearch_dashboards.yml` or configuring the default WMS properties in OpenSearch Dashboards.
### Option 1: Configure opensearch_dashboards.yml
Configure the manifest URL in `opensearch_dashboards.yml`:
`map.opensearchManifestServiceUrl: "http://localhost:8080/manifest.json"`
### Option 2: Configure Default WMS properties in OpenSearch Dashboards
1. On the OpenSearch Dashboards console, select **Stack Management > Advanced Settings**.
2. Locate `visualization:tileMap:WMSdefaults` under **Default WMS properties**.
3. Change `"enabled": false` to `"enabled": true` and add the URL for the valid map server.
