How to serve tiles for Nginx webserver?

0

Dear OSM community,

  1. Can mod_tile be configured with Nginx webserver?
  2. Is there any module for Nginx which does the same as mod_tile to Apache?

I have an application in Flask which is using Nginx and it needs to display maps. As OSM uses Apache2, how can I run the both servers? or Is there a better solution?

Thank you in advance :)

To my knowledge there's nothing like mod_tile for nginx, but you could trivially run Apache on a different port, say port 81, and then configure your nginx to pass through (proxy) certain requests it receives to Apache.
