Docker container based on a current Nominatim version. Version 2.5.1 is already pretty old, but there is not yet a newer release. The version provided here is 411 commits ahead of 2.5.1.
Run http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim in a docker container.
To prevent instability, the version of nominatim is frozen to a recent commit. You can change the version / commit hash in the Dockerfile. Feel free to create a pull request
Running with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, PostgreSQL 9.5, PHP 7
You can build your own image as simple as
docker build . --tag thomasnordquist/simple-nominatim:latest
This will only install the environment to run and import the data.
In contrast to other nominatim docker implementations, I decided to move the import out of the build phase.
Monaco is the smallest dataset and therefore the best example to begin with
docker run \
-e PBF_URL=http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/monaco-latest.osm.pbf \
-e REPLICATION_URL=http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/monaco-updates \
-p 8080:8080 \
-it thomasnordquist/simple-nominatim
Germany is a much bigger dataset and requires far more time, about 12 hours on an AMD 6-core machine with SSD. After import the image is >70GB in size.
docker run \
-e PBF_URL=http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany-latest.osm.pbf \
-e REPLICATION_URL=http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany-updates \
-e THREADS=8 \
--restart=always \
-p 8082:8080 \
--name nominatim-germany \
-it thomasnordquist/simple-nominatim
The service will run on http://localhost:8080/
If you want to import data from other countrys or even the whole planet, check out these links:
Take a look at the postgresql.conf and
https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/blob/master/docs/Installation.md#postgresql-tuning
