Run http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim in a docker container. Clones the current master and builds it. This is always the latest version, be cautious as it may be unstable.
Uses Ubuntu 18.04 and PostgreSQL 9.3
As default it downloads Europe/Monacco (latest) from geofabrik.de during build. This can be changed by setting a build arg.
If a different country should be used, change the wget line in the Dockerfile to pull a different country file.
To rebuild the image locally execute
docker build -t nominatim .
This example downloads the belize data during compilation:
docker build --build-arg OSM=http://download.geofabrik.de/central-america/belize-latest.osm.pbf -t nominatim .
By default the container exposes port 8080 To run the container execute
# remove any existing containers
docker rm -f nominatim_container || echo "nominatim_container not found, skipping removal"
docker run -p 8080:8080 --name nominatim_container --detach nominatim
Check the logs of the running container
docker logs nominatim_container
Stop the container
docker stop nominatim_container
Connect to the nominatim webserver with curl. If this succeeds, open http://localhost:8080/ in a web browser
curl "http://localhost:8080"
