Trying to get Kibana's world map read off a .mbtiles world map which I understand has to be locally hosted.
Anyone knows how to Create a locally hosted map server which my .mbtiles world map can be uploaded to it and have Kibana read off it to visualize using it's map visualizations?

Kibana can only use raster tiles loaded from a URL. You can use Tileserver-GL to serve raster tiles as a URL from an mbtiles file. [https://openmaptiles.org/docs/host/tileserver-gl/](https://openmaptiles.org/docs/host/tileserver-gl/)
