I have trouble getting the map tile layer to appear on the Kibana Maps. I am using a docker container to hold Kibana. I followed the directions in the following link: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.0/maps-connect-to-ems.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.0/maps-connect-to-ems.html) In addition, I set an environment variable in my dockercompose.yml file to several different tile layers. Nothing seemed to appear. In addition, I tried adding a Web Map Service link to a tile server and nothing shows. Any suggestion ?

What configurations have you added to dockercompose.yml?

Are you trying to use EMS base maps or provide your own base map?

Are you seeing any tile request errors in your browser? Open your browsers dev tools and switch to the network tab. You should see requests to download tiles. Are there any errors for these tile requests?

Does your kibana instance running in Docker have access to the internet?
