Where can I get information on OSM's GPS raster layer?

Hi. I’m interested in possibly testing some improvements to OSM’s rendered “GPS Traces” layer, served from gps.tile.openstreetmap.org. I’ve searched for the source code or project page but can’t find anything.

Apparently, it used to be provided by mapbox? Is that still the case? Can I run this service locally somehow in the same way I might another renderer stack like Carto?

Source code should be:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/gpx-updater
https://github.com/e-n-f/datamaps
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/tree/master/cookbooks/gps-tile

Looks like all is hosted on openstreetmap.org, no Mapbox involved. You probably need to figure out yourself how to run this locally.
