Running with Docker

You can use official Docker image ghcr.io/maplibre/martin

Using Non-Local PostgreSQL

docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres@postgres.example.org/db \
  ghcr.io/maplibre/martin

Exposing Local Files

You can expose local files to the Docker container using the -v flag.

docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v /path/to/local/files:/files \
  ghcr.io/maplibre/martin /files

Accessing Local PostgreSQL on Linux

If you are running PostgreSQL instance on localhost, you have to change network settings to allow the Docker container to access the localhost network.

For Linux, add the --net=host flag to access the localhost PostgreSQL service. You would not need to export ports with -p because the container is already using the host network.

docker run \
  --net=host \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres@localhost/db \
  ghcr.io/maplibre/martin

Accessing Local PostgreSQL on macOS

For macOS, use host.docker.internal as hostname to access the localhost PostgreSQL service.

docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres@host.docker.internal/db \
  ghcr.io/maplibre/martin

Accessing Local PostgreSQL on Windows

For Windows, use docker.for.win.localhost as hostname to access the localhost PostgreSQL service.

docker run \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres@docker.for.win.localhost/db \
  ghcr.io/maplibre/martin
