This fork is in a poor state, barely working, needs some love

The fork is in a good state codebase-wise but they've had ongoing issues hosting map tiles (hosting a tileserver is an arduous task for a free/voluntary effort).

The fork is/was very popular so I can envisage this new effort having similar issues if it starts to get traffic.

I kind of feel it’s supposed to be set and forget right? I spent a few days setting it all up but it was pretty seamless after.

Installed OK, but errors-out trying to download the first map :(
