Container for Nominatim.

I'm building this for use in an automatic deployment system. As such, this is custom built to fit my requirements, and may or may not be useful to you.

This has been modified to allow for easy mounting of a separate data volume.

This has been modified to allow for building of the data on the data volume easily, using command line parameters to docker. I need to be able to build pieces of the nominatim dataset repeatedly, and this is very convenient to be able to build only the chunks of data that are required for a specific deployment.

With a collection of snapshot images stored of various data volumes, it is easy to deploy a running instance for a specific dataset, without incurring the downsides of having a complete nominatim database running on a host that doesn't need it -- storage space and memory requirements, particularly.

To check that everything is set up correctly, download and load to Postgres PBF file with minimal size - Europe/Monacco (latest) from geofabrik.de.

If a different country should be used you can set PBF_DATA on build.

1. Clone repository

# git clone [email protected]:ericblade/nominatim-docker.git
# cd nominatim-docker/2.5

2. Configure incremental update in the file local.php. By default CONST_Replication_Url is configured for Monaco. If you want a different update source, you will need to change CONST_Replication_Url in local.php. Documentation [here] (https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim/blob/master/docs/Import_and_update.md#updates). For example, to use the daily country extracts diffs for Gemany from geofabrik add the following:

@define('CONST_Replication_Url', 'http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany-updates');

California map updates: http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/california-updates/

3. Build Container

docker build -t nominatim .

4. Create Database Assume you have a volume mounted for your postgresql at /mnt/postgresql, otherwise change the path in -v, also change the path to the .osm.pbf file if you're intending on using a different set of source data.

docker run -v /mnt/postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql --name nominatim nominatim --createdb http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/monaco-latest.osm.pbf

California map data: http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/california-latest.osm.pbf

5. Run Assume you have a volume mounted for your postgresql at /mnt/postgresql, otherwise change the path in -v.

docker run -v /mnt/postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql --restart=always -d -p 8080:8080 nominatim

If this succeeds, open http://localhost:8080/ in a web browser

You can run Docker image from docker hub.

docker run -v /mnt/postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql --name nominatim mediagis/nominatim:latest --createdb http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/monaco-latest.osm.pbf
docker run -v /mnt/postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql --restart=always -d -p 8080:8080 --name nominatim mediagis/nominatim:latest

Service will run on http://localhost:8080/

Full documentation for Nominatim update available here. For a list of other methods see the output of:

docker exec -it nominatim sudo -u nominatim ./src/utils/update.php --help

The following command will keep your database constantly up to date:

docker exec -it nominatim sudo -u nominatim ./src/utils/update.php --import-osmosis-all --no-npi

If you have imported multiple country extracts and want to keep them up-to-date, have a look at the script in issue #60.
