How can I configure the interpolation for a self hosted instance of Pelias?

I use the dockerfiles GitHub repository of Pelias and would like to set up a local instance of the geocoding service. I need to import data of Berlin, Germany. To achieve this I have to adjust the data pathes and files in a config file called pelias.json. The interpolation part is the following:

"interpolation": {
  "download": {
    "tiger": {
      "datapath": "/data/tiger",
      "states": [
        {
          "state_code": 41
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

I know that 'tiger' is a dataset only relevant for the US. But does anybody know how to specify the interpolation for Berlin, Germany instead of Portland, Oregon?

Solution

  • You can also i.a. use data from openstreetmap and openaddresses, see https://github.com/pelias/interpolation/ . I use docker pelias/docker myself. Snippet from pelias.json:

    "interpolation": { "datapath": "/data/interpolation/" }

    where in /data/interpolation/ these files resides: street.db and address.db. How to produce these files is explained in the pelias/interpolation/ repo.
