Yeah that's pretty much what I want to.

I'm curious if it'd be better to pre-generate all the images before, and
then you're just serving static files, or if it'd be better to have some
sort of web server / database / the whole tile rendering shebang on there.

I'm aiming for this to be totally offline, i.e. the machine this runs on
being totally disconnected from the web. Which means this doesn't really
apply to me.
