mapviz: local WMTS for tile_map plugin problems [closed]

I am trying to build a local tile map server for the tile_map plugin, so I can navigate and show my husky robot in the map at where no internet is available. I followed the link here to build a tile map server:

https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-serve...

I was able to see my map in a browser when typing 'http://my-server-ipt' after following the instructions in the link above. I was also able to see the tile of a world map in the browser when typing 'http://localhost/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png'. Everything described in the above link works! The problem is, when I launch the mapviz.launch, select 'tile_map' plugin and choose 'Custom WMTS Source', in the Base URL, type 'http://localhost/osm_tiles/{level}/{x}/{y}.png', nothing shows. I tried change the first part of Base URL into http://localhost , http://127.0.0.1/osm_tiles and so on, none of them works. I am thinking maybe I need to do some additional steps after following the above link? I am new to the map server thing, please help!

Actually, if anyone knows how to build a local WMTS for mapviz and give some instructions will be great!

Thanks,

Hao

I posted an even easier way to setup a local WMTS server for MapViz: https://github.com/danielsnider/MapVi...

Awesome! It's what I am looking for. I was able to get the the OSM work, but had hard time find satellite tiles. Your solution solved my problem! Thanks!

Update: It's now working. I restarted the computer and also restarted the mapviz several times, and suddenly, it worked. I still don't know what was the problem before. But anyway, it works now. So now, if anyone wants to build a local map sever for the tile_map of mapviz, under Ubuntu 16.04, just follow the instruction in the link: https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-serve...

After done with that, you can put the Base URL: http://your_server_ip/osm_tiles/{leve... Set the Max Zoom to 18 and save it.
