Usage

Pass the NOMINATIM_PBF_URL environment variable to the container referencing the URL of your PBF file:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
-e NOMINATIM_PBF_URL='http://download.geofabrik.de/asia/maldives-latest.osm.pbf' \
--name nominatim peterevans/nominatim:latest

The PBF file will be downloaded and the database will begin building. Note that very large databases may take hours to be built.

Tail the logs to verify the database has been built and Apache is serving requests:

docker logs -f <CONTAINER ID>

Then point your web browser to http://localhost:8080/
