sophox/import-osm repository overview

⁠Import OSM into PostGIS using imposm3

Note This is an updated version of the unmaintained openmaptiles/import-osm⁠. We will try to merge pull requests much quicker, and will continue pushing openmaptiles to merge contributions.

This Docker image will import an OSM PBF file using imposm3⁠ and a custom mapping configuration⁠.

⁠Usage

⁠Download PBF File

Use Geofabrik⁠ and choose the extract of your country or region. Download it and put it into the directory.

⁠Import

The import-osm Docker container will take the first PBF file in the volume mounted to the /import folder and import it using imposm3 using the mapping file from the $MAPPING_YAML (default /mapping/mapping.yaml).

Volumes:

• Mount your PBFs into the /import folder
• Mount your mapping.yaml into the /mapping folder
• If you want to use diff mode mount a persistent location to the /cache folder for later reuse

docker run --rm \
    -v $(pwd):/import \
    -v $(pwd):/mapping \
    -e PGUSER="osm" \
    -e PGPASSWORD="osm" \
    -e PGHOST="127.0.0.1" \
    -e PGDATABASE="osm" \
    openmaptiles/import-osm

Use standard Postgres environment variables⁠ to connect, such as PGHOST, PGDATABASE, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, PGPORT. All are required except for PGPORT.

For backward compatibility the script also supports POSTGRES_HOST, POSTGRES_DB, POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and POSTGRES_PORT, but they are not recommended.

⁠Legacy version

An additional docker image with a -legacy tag will be published by hand. It contains custom openmaptiles/imposm v2017-10-18⁠ version to stay compatible with legacy deployments.
