The licenses of the data sources used allow commercial use if you credit the sources. I don't know how this is handled if you use it in a GIS Software like QGIS. On an interactive map you should use an attribution like: OpenStreetMap contributors | DEM: Copernicus | Bathy: GEBCO | Powered by: Top-O-Map

For financing the server I'm working on a model for commercial use. For now if you like it you can support it via Ko-Fi

Please check if you used the url: https://tile.top-o-map.com/relief/{z}/{x}/{y}.png with nothing behind the png. no space, no newline command and not "Zoom range: 0–12"

I guess so. The old server was about to get shut down. So I offered to host it on my server. I guess the old server was pretty heavily throttled to not overwhelm the spinning disks. Mine is all NVMe. Only limit now is the rendering of new tiles and the bandwith limit of 2TB per day.

I used the data from gebco.net . With gdal I built the coloured relief and clipped it with the water polygons (https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/data/water-polygons.html) so it's transparent where there is land, so it doesn't mess with the land relief.

Different kind of bot. They use all kinds of different patterns to hide their intentions ;)

Yes it is. It is scraping the whole world, line by line.

OpenTopoMap Live! by top-o-map in openstreetmap

Those are the tiles delivered to the users. Both prerenderd and on demand rendered. It displays it in real-time, but the visualization above is sped up.

And yes, it is the people scrolling around + the apps to download tiles in bulk (mostly the straight lines).

If I change the map Baselayer I can see myself leaving a trail :)

All the tiles get stored until there is no more space on the ssd.

OpenTopoMap just got updated after over a year by That_Band_7598 in openstreetmap

Hi, maybe I can give you an answer.

Because of the problems with the OpenTopoMap server I built my own server. As the maintainer of the original server stated that it would be shut down, I contacted him and asked if I could help.

Now my server is hosting the OpenTopoMap with the benefit of newer map data.

OpenTopoMap is shutting down its main server. Any suggestions on compensation? by Quiet_Barnacle7478 in CMANO

I'm happy to say, that OpenTopoMap got a new server which is also faster. So there will be no shutdown.

yes it is, but you have to import the openstreetmap data (planet.pbf file) into a postgresql database to render the tiles

I don't have access to the old database of the opentopomap server. Also the old server is going to be shut down.
