Generating country level basemaps from scratch is a great approach!

I've made an even easier path which is to just extract the relevant tiles from a daily build: https://docs.protomaps.com/guide/getting-started

This can take seconds to minutes for small-medium areas and doesn't need a powerful computer at all. The drawbacks are that the build is only daily, and the lower-zoom tiles aren't clipped so include extra information beyond your specified area.




I've been using TileServer GL for a while and it looks like there is support for pmtiles coming soon.
