maputnik — visual MapLibre style editor

Maputnik is a pure-JS SPA for visually editing MapLibre GL JS style JSON files. Built from upstream source (felt/maputnik) via npm at image build time, served as a static dist by Python's stdlib http.server. Composed by /ov-marimo:marimo-ml so operators can iterate on the streets-map style against the in-pod martin tile server (/ov-marimo:osm-data-layer).

Layer properties

| Property | Value | |----------|-------| | Dependencies | supervisord | | Distros | fedora (sole; needs node + npm + git for build) | | Build deps | nodejs, npm, git | | Ports | 8000 (host-mapped to 28000) | | Service | maputnik (supervisord, restart: always) | | Static dist | /opt/maputnik/build/ (Vite dist/ renamed) |

Service spec

service:
  - name: maputnik
    exec: /usr/bin/python3 -m http.server 8000 --directory /opt/maputnik/build
    restart: always
    working_directory: /opt/maputnik

Pure stdlib server — no marimo-pixi-env coupling. The system python3 from supervisord's own RPM dep handles the static serve.

Critical: Vite --base=/ override

Maputnik's package.json defines "build": "tsc && vite build". Vite's default base path for builds is --base=/maputnik/. That default bakes /maputnik/assets/* URL references into the emitted index.html — but we serve the dist at root (/) via python -m http.server, so all those baked URLs 404 in the browser.

Symptom (before fix): the maputnik UI loads at http://127.0.0.1:28000/ showing a blank page; browser dev-tools shows asset 404s for /maputnik/assets/index-*.js etc.

Fix in the build cmd:

- cmd: |
    set -euo pipefail
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/maplibre/maputnik /tmp/maputnik
    cd /tmp/maputnik
    npm ci --no-audit --no-fund
    # Override Vite's default --base=/maputnik/ so asset URLs are
    # root-relative and resolve against our serve path. The `--`
    # forwards the flag through npm to vite.
    npm run build -- --base=/
    if [ -d dist ]; then
      mkdir -p /opt/maputnik
      cp -r dist /opt/maputnik/build
    else
      echo "maputnik build did not produce ./dist directory" >&2
      ls -la
      exit 1
    fi
    cd /
    rm -rf /tmp/maputnik /root/.npm
  user: root

Eval lock-in

A deploy-scope eval probe greps the served HTML for the (forbidden) /maputnik/ prefix and fails if present. Locks in the fix against a future revert to the Vite default:

- id: maputnik-asset-base-not-prefixed
  scope: deploy
  command: |
    ! curl -fsS http://localhost:8000/ | grep -q '"/maputnik/'
  in_container: true
  exit_status: 0

Plus the standard probes (also deploy-scope):

• maputnik-running — supervisord program is RUNNING
• maputnik-port-reachable — TCP 8000 reachable
• maputnik-http-up — GET / returns 200

Use case in marimo-ml

The streets-map style in /ov-marimo:notebook-osm cell 7 is a small inline JSON. Operators iterating on richer styles can:

1. Open maputnik at http://127.0.0.1:28000/
2. Connect to martin's TileJSON URL http://127.0.0.1:23000/monaco
3. Visually edit polygon/line/circle layer paint properties
4. Export the style JSON
5. Paste into the notebook cell (or save to a server-mounted file and load via style: 'http://...' in the MapLibre constructor)
