irony/osrm5 repository overview

Easiest way to use this docker image is to use Docker Compose. It allows you to set up your environment and just run one command: docker-compose up whenever you want to get back to where you left off.

OSRM takes a while to start the first time (around 5 minutes) so it is a good idea to keep the generated data in a separate data-volume so you can start or stop your server really quick whenever you want and you will always have the latest state available.

Add this to a file called docker-compose.yml

osrm-data:
  image: irony/osrm5
  volumes:
    - /data
osrm:
  image: irony/osrm5 
  volumes_from: 
    - osrm-data
  ports:
    - 5000:5000
  command: ./start.sh Sweden http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/sweden-latest.osm.pbf

/The first argument is the name you want to give to the map. It's used mostly as a file name in the data storage. The second argument is the URL to your source map file./

Now run docker-compose up and visit http://localhost:5000⁠ and you will be able to query your local routing engine for routes and match gps-positions to the road network.
