I am trying to build my own tile server because I have given up on
Google Maps and need a replacement. I am getting help on the Github

I would like to offer access to my server to others when I get it
running, but is there any built-in mechanism in the map stack to limit
who can access it or rate limit it somehow?
There's a "ModTileEnableTileThrottling" parameter that you can turn on -
see
https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/mod_tile/blob/switch2osm/mod_tile.conf#L124
for the comments in the config file.
My recollection of the Docker container (which I presume is what you're
using) is that it allows lots of parameters to be passed through (the
readme's at
https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server/blob/master/README.md
). Not sure if the option to set this flag on is there, but I'm sure
that you could set it somehow.
There are a bunch of other options that I looked at ages ago such as
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ratelimit.html , but someone
running a larger or more public tile server would be better placed to
comment on what the best option is now.
Best Regards,
Andy
