Self Hosted Geocoding Solution

Convert street addresses to GPS coordinates without making any external API calls, without limit to the number of geocode requests that you can make.

This project divided into 2 Docker images:

1. PostGIS Geocoder, based on moofish32/postgis-geocoder
2. Go CLI tool

Usage

1. Start the PostGIS service and compile the CLI tool: make api
2. Download the data: make postgis
3. To use the CLI run docker exec -ti app_api app [adddress]

Requiremetns

• The downloads can take more than 60GB of disk space
• The database can take more than 5GB
• You should optimize that database to your needs.

Troubleshooting

• You need to manage the downloads of each state in case of no response from the servers.
• There is a hard-coded DATABASE_URI environment variable in the Dockerfile that you might want to change.
• For batch requests, edit the app/main.go file
