- ↑ mod_tile depends on Apache and requires a rendering backend like renderd (which uses Mapnik) or Tirex (which supports several backends).
- ↑ TileSweep renders tiles with Mapnik via libmapnik.
- ↑ TileServer GL can render tiles with MapLibre GL Native, there is also a Light version which does not depend on the rasterization library.
