Install localtileserver 0.4.1:

pip3 install localtileserver==0.4.1

If conda environment is getting used:

conda install -c conda-forge localtileserver

Setup Environment Before Running Jupyter:

##[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is ip address of the host default localhost]
export LOCALTILESERVER_CLIENT_HOST=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ##[XXXX is the port on which jupyter is running default 8888]
export LOCALTILESERVER_CLIENT_PORT=XXXXexport LOCALTILESERVER_CLIENT_PREFIX=proxy/{port}jupyter nbextension enable --py ipyleaflet

Start Jupyter:

nohup jupyter notebook &

Testing Jupyter Notebook with Tile Visualization using localtileserver:

import localtileserver
print(localtileserver.Report())from localtileserver import get_folium_tile_layer
from localtileserver import TileClient
from folium import Map
import folium
# First, create a tile server from local raster file
tile_client = TileClient('/DISK003/SPATIAL_ANALYTICS/landuse.tif')# Create folium tile layer from that server
t = get_folium_tile_layer(tile_client)m = Map(location=tile_client.center())m.add_child(t)m

Running localtileserver Docker Image:

docker run -p 8888:8888 -v /path/of/rasterized-tiff/:/data/ ghcr.io/banesullivan/localtileserver-jupyter:latestThen add the ?filename= parameter to the URL in your browser to access the local files. Since this is mounted under /data/ in the container, you must build the path as /data/<filename on Desktop>, such that the URL would be: http://localhost:8000/?filename=/data/TC_NG_SFBay_US_Geo.tif
