I create a mbfiles file using MapTiler and loaded it into OpenMapTiles. The files that I have loaded are from earthexplorer.usgs.gov and composed of several .tif files.
Once I load the mbfiles into the server, I get the following message:
WARNING
OpenMapTiles Server is designed to work with data downloaded from OpenMapTiles.com, the following files are unknown and will not be used: file.mbtiles
Is there a document describing the advanced options I have to use in order to create a opem map tiles compatible mbtile files?
both products are from the same company
Currently, OpenMapTiles Server actually works only with data from OpenMapTilers.com. If you want to display data made in MapTiler Desktop on a map, you can upload it to the MapTiler Cloud service - https://www.maptiler.com/how-to/hosting-on-maptiler-cloud/
But what you wrote makes perfect sense: that's why we are working on MapTiler Server with an ability to serve MBTiles made by MapTiler Desktop/Engine. It is currently in pre-release status.
