supriyo-biswas: I don’t get the point in writing another geocoder when such programs already exist, e.g: https://pelias.io/

tananaev: Self-hosted reverse geocoder with sub-millisecond query latency. C++ builder parses OSM PBF files into a compact binary index using S2 geometry cells. Rust server memory-maps the index and serves a Nominatim-compatible API. Docker support with automatic HTTPS.

gniv: How long does it take to build the whole index?

KomoD: I tried the "Australia and Oceania" pbf which is really small and it took ~15min

majorchord: I just want a regular (non-reverse) geocoding system that's actually easy to self-host.Windows CE apps were doing this 20 years ago with single file databases of only a few GBs, why do I need a 500GB+ postgres monster to do the same thing today?

felixguendling: Have you tried MOTIS with only the geocoding enabled? This should be 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller.
