This repo contains a Dockerfile to self host a Photon instance. Photon provides geocoding and search as you type functionality.
The easiest way to run photon is to use the contained Dockerfile:
docker build -t priobike-photon . && docker run -p 2322:2322 --rm priobike-photon
Use the geosearch:
curl "http://localhost:2322/api?q={searchstring}&lat={positionLat}&lon={positionLon}&bbox={minLon},{minLat},{maxLon},{maxLat}&lang=de&limit=10"
Use the reverse geocoding:
curl "http://localhost:2322/reverse?lon={longitude}&lat={latitude}"
- We use one database for all of Germany, so there is no distinction between Dresden and Hamburg.
- We still seperate staging and production (main/stable) to be able to test new versions before deploying them to production.
We highly encourage you to open an issue or a pull request. You can also use our repository freely with the MIT license.
Every service runs through testing before it is deployed in our release setup. Read more in our PrioBike deployment readme to understand how specific branches/tags are deployed.
Help us improve this documentation. If you have any problems or unclarities, feel free to open an issue.
