Prepared images for some popular regions.

[Apo-S]

I think it would be great to have ready-made images for some popular regions.

When I just downloaded the image / launched it and everything works right away.

This is what docker can provide.

Of course, the various database parameters, other parameters and the data themselves are different for everyone.

But I would just like to have something that you can run and try.

I launched on my machine where windows with wsl2 us-south-latest on hdd 5400rpm, i5-10400, with RAM limits ~16 times less than the standard ones and I don’t understand when the first launch will be completed and whether it will be possible to wait for this, already the third day.

Can you post the last lines of output? Then it should be possible to estimate how long the import will take.

Have you tried a smaller region first? I tend to use the countries Monaco or Liechtenstein which on a 2core,4GB RAM,SSD take less than 30min to import. https://download.bbbike.org/osm/ has some city extracts (look for *.pbf files).

HDD 5400rpm is bad news: Nominatim at its core is a database with huge indices and does a lot of random access. The default database performance settings in the Nominatim installation are for SSD/NVMe drives. With HDD you can look at weeks of import time (depending on region, RAM/CPU).

I did not try other regions, I started the test with us-south. I'll take a look at bbbike, thanks.

142 is very slow. With a SSD you can expect a 10x speed improvement.

Your import is about 70% done. After rank 30 follows rank 0, then interpolation lines, then postcodes.

thanks, so I have ~26 hours left, I'll wait
