Custom Map Tiles Server

I searched for similar issues and could not find any.

In the map view visualization, the background is OpenStreetMaps by default and there is an option for a Mapbox API key. I'd like to have a Custom option, where I can use a custom map tile server by providing a custom URL for my proprietary tiles, and then I could serve my tiles on something like http://localhost/{z}/{x}/{y}.png. The end result would be that I would get all the features of the map view visualization with the background tiles being my own.

I vibe coded up a version of this here and verified that it works well by running on some of my own .rrd files. I just have to configure the tiles URL in Settings and then it works beautifully.

Here is a screenshot of the config within settings:

Haven't checked on your vibe'd branch, do you think it might be any good for landing? Either way I wouldn't mind having it as a draft PR around here for future reference :)

Hi, I think the implementation is fine and we've been using it a lot. What I'm not sure about in terms of landing is adding the right tests for it.

Hmm yeah seems like a tricky thing to test. If we were able to setup a custom mapping server we could add a test easily enough, but not sure if that's practically feasible? 🤔
