I have created a Ubuntu 14.04 tile server. I loaded an OSM base map into the POSTGIS database and created a slippy-map using OpenLayers 3.9. Then I loaded data of an overlay into the POSTGIS database and now I am trying to create a layer for it.
To create layers, the only solution with decent documentation seems to be Tilemill. But to use Tilemill on my server I have to use "SSH connection forwarding", explained here. I don't want to create a security leak into my server.
Are there any other options, with decent documentation, with which I can create custom layers for my map?
What I already 'know':
This overlay has to be rendered into different tiles and have zoom levels, just like a OSM base map. I want to use this overlay and put it over an area on my OSM-tiled map.
What do I need to be able to create a layer that can be displayed with OpenLayers like: url: '/overlay/{x}/{y}/{z}'?

What I already 'know':
- Create a simple map with Mapnik
- Store shape files into the POSTGIS database
- Use OpenLayers to display the layer
