This question may have already been answered somewhere, however, I can't find anything about it right away.
I am currently working on building/implementing webpage on a server that contains a map. The user should then be able to add markers to this map along with descriptions and some images attached to the marker (unsure how possible this is with tileserver-gl). I thought that tileserver-gl would work well for this. I have gone through and done all of the setup as recommended on the GitHub page. I am wondering if there is either a way to customize or to remove the initial landing page all together (pictured below). I mainly want to do this to allow for less user confusion (the users are not as experienced with tech).
I am currently looking to see if manipulating aspects of the config.json (this is one of the many methods of operating with docker that they offer) file could help. I am new to working with tileserver-gl so I apologize if this is should be a simple solution or if I am going about everything wrong. I tried to learn more but was not able to find much about this particular question.
First, you have to know that Tileserver-gl is an
It's not a web application designed for customization or used as a UI for the application, the landing page - front page - you meant is just an easy way to show the available data, and styles on the map server.
You have to develop a simple web app using either Mablibre-gl-js or Mapbox-gl-js libraries to do the required features (add a marker with a description and images) and using a map style from Tileserver-gl that you deployed as a base map - background - for your web app.
you can find some getting started examples for creating a simple web app using the MapLibre-gl-js library, from link1 and link2.
