Navigate to Nextcloud administration > Additional settings (`/settings/admin/additional`) > Maplibre settings. Set the style url as `https://tiles.openfreemap.org/styles/liberty`. + +The style url can be set to other [map providers](https://github.com/maplibre/awesome-maplibre#maptile-providers). I use [OpenFreeMap](https://openfreemap.org/) because it's free and doesn't need an API key. It's available in [4 styles](https://openfreemap.org/quick_start/). + +Maplibre uses WebGL to render the vector tiles, so if your browser block WebGL by default, your Nextcloud domain (not `openfreemap.org`) needs to be allowlisted for it.
