Hosting OSM Vector Tile Server using ubuntu

Here what am looking for,

Am trying to host my own vector tile server, Here is an image for the kind of Map I want on some pages it is named as a "positron" not opensourced, even a similar kind of it can also work with me. Positron/Similar GrayScale Map

Reference link for the style.json that we found Positron Style Json Inside style.json they have induced links of MapTiler Keys that were open-sourced but they removed this in February, there is no alternative we found on how we should run this on frontend. style.json snippet

  "sources": {
    "openmaptiles": {
      "type": "vector",
      "url": "https://api.maptiler.com/tiles/v3/tiles.json?key={key}"
    }
  },
  "sprite": "https://openmaptiles.github.io/positron-gl-style/sprite",
  "glyphs": "https://api.maptiler.com/fonts/{fontstack}/{range}.pbf?key={key}",

Initially, when I started I was not much aware of the difference between vector tile and raster tiles

I followed this link and build the serverOSM Tile Server, it was working very good but it was native and I was looking for the kind of above design I have linked above. The native raster tiles look like this OSM Tile View, we are not actually looking for this

For the installation of PBF file we followed this planet.osm link and installed them with Postgress Database Planet OSM file used

Soon we realized we need to host a vector tile server rather than a raster one as they are providing images and we are not looking for this kind of design. As there is no-installation I found for the vector tile server on the main switch2OSM maps website.

I went through this link OSM Vector Tile Server Now when we are installing them ReadMe file "tessera" they are deprecated and also removed their support from the back. Now even the raster Tile server has stopped working.

Now I don't know what mistake am doing or what step I should take now, our usage is cumbersome and we want to host our own vector tile server to reduce the cost.

Any reference or guidance will be really appreciated.

if anyone gets stuck at the same position where have been with switch2OSM and looking to build their own vector tile server.

Please use this link named OpenMapTiles

I wasn't aware at the start therefore it took some time to figure it out.

Also thanks to OpenStreetMaps Telegram Community.
