Pelias Dockerfiles

This is a Docker Compose based demo application for running the Pelias Geocoder.

It is configured to set up a geocoder for Portland, Oregon, USA and should be able to do so in about 30 minutes with a fast internet connection.

Many options can be changed to support local development or use for other cities. However, it is not suitable for full planet geocoding installations. For that, see our install documentation

Step-by-step Guide

Check out a self-contained workshop that explains all the moving parts that make up the Pelias geocoding engine and then shows you how to setup a geocoder for a single city or county right on your own machine.

• Growing Pelias in Containers

Warning: Copy/paste from the JSON in this workshop PDF is currently broken. See #33 for details.

Prerequisites

1. Docker version 1.10.1 or later.

2. A directory for storing downloaded datasets. This directory should have at least 30GB disk space free

3. OSX Only

   1. In Docker > Preferences > Advanced, set the CPU to 4 and memory to 12 GB. This ensures that Docker has enough memory to run the imports and API.

Create a Directory for Your Data

This is where all the data from OpenStreetMap, OpenAddresses, etc will be downloaded. All of the containers are already configured to use this data.

mkdir -p /tmp/data

If you wish to change the location of your data directory you can simply change the DATA_DIR environment variable defined in the .env file.

Getting Up and Running

First you'll need to create (or edit) the provided pelias.json file at the root of the repository. This is where you will specify all the details of your desired Pelias instance, such as area of coverage and data sources. You can reference the individual data sections below for more details on configuration.

Once that's ready, the following command will build all the images and containers required:

./build.sh

Once the process is complete you can list the running services:

docker-compose ps
        Name                   Command           State                 Ports               
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pelias_api             npm start                 Up       0.0.0.0:4000->4000/tcp           
pelias_elasticsearch   /bin/bash bin/es-docker   Up       0.0.0.0:9200->9200/tcp, 9300/tcp

pelias_interpolation   npm start                 Up       0.0.0.0:4300->4300/tcp
pelias_openaddresses   /bin/bash                 Exit 0                                    
pelias_openstreetmap   /bin/bash                 Exit 0
pelias_pip             npm start                 Up       0.0.0.0:4200->4200/tcp
pelias_placeholder     npm start                 Up       0.0.0.0:4100->4100/tcp           
pelias_polylines       /bin/bash                 Exit 0                                    
pelias_schema          /bin/bash                 Exit 0                                    
pelias_whosonfirst     /bin/bash                 Exit 0

Checking that Services are Running

All the services should be up and running after the build script completes. The ports on which the services run should match the configuration in docker-compose.yml. You can confirm this worked correctly by visiting each one at the corresponding URLs.

API

http://localhost:4000/v1/search?text=portland

Data Download and Import

You can run ./prep_data.sh to download and import data after changing configuration settings or to update existing data.

Below are configuration options for the various data sources.

mdkir -p /tmp/data
sh ./prep_data.sh

Individual Data Sources

Who's on First

note: this guide only covers importing the admin areas (like cities, countries etc.)

configuration

For WOF data, use imports.whosonfirst.importPlace (see whosonfirst repo doc)

"imports": {
  "whosonfirst": {
    "datapath": "/data/whosonfirst",
    "importVenues": false,
    "importPostalcodes": true,
    "importPlace": "101715829"
  }
}

download

docker-compose run --rm whosonfirst npm run download

import

docker-compose run --rm whosonfirst bash -c 'npm start'

OpenAddresses

configuration

For OA data, use imports.openaddresses.files (see openaddresses repo doc)

"imports": {
  "openaddresses": {
    "datapath": "/data/openaddresses",
    "files": [ "us/or/portland_metro.csv" ]
  }
}

download

docker-compose run --rm openaddresses npm run download

import

docker-compose run --rm openaddresses npm start

OpenStreetMap

Any moderately sized osm.pbf file will work.

configuration

Once you find a URL from which you can consistently download the data, specify it in the configuration file and the download script will pull it down for you.

For OSM data, use imports.openstreetmap.download[] (see openstreetmap repo doc)

"imports": {
  "openstreetmap": {
    "download": [
      {
        "sourceURL": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/metro-extracts.nextzen.org/portland_oregon.osm.pbf"
      }
    ],
    ...
  }
}

download

Using the download script in the container:

docker-compose run --rm openstreetmap npm run download

Or, download the data by other means such as wget (example for Singapore):

wget -qO- https://s3.amazonaws.com/metro-extracts.nextzen.org/singapore.osm.pbf > /tmp/data/openstreetmap/extract.osm.pbf

import

docker-compose run --rm openstreetmap npm start

Geonames

configuration

You can restrict the downloader to a single country by adding a countryCode property in your pelias.json:

"imports": {
  "geonames": {
    ...
    "countryCode": "SG"
  }
}

download

docker-compose run --rm geonames npm run download

import

docker-compose run --rm geonames npm start

Polylines

configuration

"imports": {
  "polyline": {
    "datapath": "/data/polylines",
    "files": ["pbf_extract.polyline"]
  }
}

download

The extract of the polylines is done using the OSM pbf file so that must be downloaded first. See OpenStreetMap section for details on that. Once the pbf extract is in place, run the following command.

docker-compose run --rm polylines sh ./docker_extract.sh

import

docker-compose run --rm polylines npm run start

Interpolation

The interpolation engine combines OpenStreetMap, OpenAddresses, and TIGER (a USA-only address range dataset). See its project README for more configuration options.

Setting Up Elasticsearch

This will take place as part of the build script, but in the case you'd like to manually manipulate the schema, the following command will install the pelias schema in elasticsearch:

docker-compose run --rm schema bash -c 'node scripts/create_index.js'

You can confirm this worked correctly by visiting http://localhost:9200/pelias/_mapping

Shutting Down and Restarting

To stop all the containers, docker-compose down.

Restart all the containers with docker-compose up or sh ./run_services.sh.

Saving docker images as tar files

Docker images can be saved for offline use with the following command:

docker images --filter 'reference=pelias/*:latest' --format '{{.Repository}}' | parallel --no-notice docker save -o '{/.}.tar' {}
