Overpass API docker image

DEPRECATED IMAGE

This image is deprecated. Please use the much better one:

https://github.com/wiktorn/Overpass-API

Note

This is based on [https://github.com/Frankkkkk/docker-overpass-api].

Main changes:

use environment variables
download the clone as recommended in the Wiki instead of the planet bz2 file
run minutely updates without metadata and without area creation or other stuff

What is it ?

Its actually a full install of the overpass api server. It supports:

Database clone from the planet.osm files
metadata support
Minute updates
API access over apache (http://URL/api/timestamp , http://URL/api/interpreter)

How to run using standard Docker commands

You can simply build the Docker image by docker build -t overpass_api . and the run the docker container by docker run -d --restart=always -v <PATH TO THE OVERPASS DB ON HOST>:/overpass_DB -p 80:80 overpass_api.

Use the following environment variables to tweak container behaviour:

CLONE_SERVER=https://dev.overpass-api.de/api_drolbr
REPLICATE_SERVER=https://planet.osm.org/replication/minute
VHOST_EMAIL=info@yourserver.com
VHOST_FQDN=https://your-overpass.api.de

NOTE: After the server start up you have to wait several minutes (or hours depending on the planet size) until the DB is loaded. In order to check the status you can use docker logs command.

How long will it take

The clone of the downloaded DEV server weighs about 120 GB. After that, replication starts and your server becomes usable.
