✨ wmslite(1) — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 this is wmslite, a light-weight WMS server that speaks RasterLite2 DataSources fluently. yes she's little. yes she serves maps. main character energy fr fr 💅 and this page is her actual manual page, section 1, so everything below is canon, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

wmslite — a light-weight WMS server supporting RasterLite2 DataSources 💖

like. that's her whole thing. she's not trying to be your giant enterprise GIS stack, she's just a tiny queen serving WMS off RasterLite2 DataSources and she's thriving ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wmslite ARGLIST

yep that's it, that's the whole incantation 😌 you run wmslite and hand her an ARGLIST, she does the rest, iykyk

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

wmslite is a light-weight WMS server supporting RasterLite2 DataSources. 🌈

that's the entire vibe check and it passed with flying colors. she's small, she's light, she's a WMS server, and the datasources she's obsessed with are RasterLite2 ones. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

every flag she takes, listed like the crown jewels, because bestie you do not skip options:

  • -db pathname, --db-path pathname — the path to your RasterLite2 DB 🗂️ tell her where the database lives, she'll go get it herself. this is her RasterLite2 DB path and yes she needs it.
  • -p number, --ip-port number — the IP port number she should listen on 🔌 default is 8080, so if you're chill with 8080 you can literally just not say anything and she'll do it anyway 💅
  • -cs num, --cache-size num — DB cache size, measured in how many pages 🧠✨ this is how many pages of the DB she's allowed to keep cached. give her a bigger number and she gets more room to breathe.
  • -dbg, --debug — verbose debugging mode 🔥 she starts telling you everything she's doing, in detail, out loud, like a bestie live-texting you her entire day. absolute gift when something's acting up, absolute firehose when it isn't 😭
ngl, if you want the tea on what she's really doing under the hood, -dbg / --debug is where the receipts are 🧾

🌟 a lil farewell from your fav server 🌟

that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this is the wmslite(1) manual from 06 February 2026 — so like, this documentation is fresh fr fr. go spin her up, point her at a RasterLite2 DB, and let her cook 🌸🦋🧚 no cap, she ate.
