Server software GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. MapProxy (mapproxy.org) can be used as a proxy/cache for the open streetmap tiles, and serve that data using the WMS, WMTS, TMS, and KML ogc standards.

How to add OpenStreet Map ( OSM ) to qgis3?
I’m trying to add Openstreet Map (OSM) to QGIS3 (Ubuntu 16.04) as a background WMS layer. I found a list of OSM WMS Servers, and a WMS tab in the new Data Source Manager (Ctrl+L). But after clicking the new button and entering the URL http://www.osm-wms.de to Create a New WMS Connection, I get a new connection called osm, which cannot be used.
How can I use OSM tiles in my map?
Configure your map client to use OSM data tiles from MapQuest Open, CloudMade, OSM, or someone else for the base layer. Create a transparent layer for your own data and pull it into your client via WMS. Make sure that you look at and honor the license/usage requirements for your source of OSM tiles.
