[MapServer-users] "Emergency" map server on Raspberry Pi - raster/PNG source in folder structure

[Scott]

This is an ideal scenario for serverless.

Put your vector data in FlatGeoBuf (.fgb) format and your highest res 
tiles as a COG tif. You can have those files on a local device or in the 
cloud.

Use leaflet with flatgeobuf, georaster-layer-for-leaflet and some modest 
javascript.

You're making this waaaay too difficult.
