This script is for building a Nominatim server with OpenStreetMap data.

Only for use on a clean Ubuntu 22!

Step 1: Get the Nominatim-Server.sh script from GitHub

      wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AcuGIS/Nominatim-Server/master/Nominatim-Server.sh

Step 2: Make it executable:

    chmod 755 Nominatim-Server.sh

Step 3: Run the script

## Script usage:

The script accepts a PBF url:

    ./Nominatim-Server.sh  pbf_url

The pbf_url is the complete PBF url from GeoFarbrik

## Examples:

Load Andorra data from GeoFabrik (one of the smallest data sets, good for testing):

      ./Nominatim-Server.sh https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/andorra-latest.osm.pbf


## Welcome Page

Once installation completes, navigate to the IP or hostname on your server.

## Loading Additional PBFs, Multiplie PBFs, or Replacing Existing PBFs:

You can use our reload-Nominatim-Server.sh script via GitHUB script.

Usage is:
<code>	
./reload-Nominatim-Server.sh [PBF_URL1] ...
</code>

## Enable Automatic Updates

The script creates an updater service.  In order to enable updates:

<code>
systemctl enable nominatim-updates.service
systemctl start nominatim-updates.service
</code>
