Include University Names

[ScanuNicco]

I'm building a ride-sharing application and planning to use this database to help input ride information. Have you guys considered adding universities such as Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology to the database? It's the first result when searching "Rose-Hulman" on openstreetmap.org, so presumably, there's a way to get that data.

the data can be used by extending the imposm configuration at osmnames/import_osm/mapping.yml

for your example, the "Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology", one would need to add:

amenity:
  - university

but keep in mind that according to the documentation, more tags should be considered: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=university?uselang=en

I do not plan to do another export anytime soon... but maybe this helps you to prepare this data for your project yourself.

I finally got around to trying to make a data export but I am having some trouble getting it to work. I get a permission error when trying to run the docker compose command.

[nscanu@dhcp-137-112-204-209 OSMNames]$ sudo docker-compose run --rm osmnames
Creating osmnames_postgres_1 ... done
Creating osmnames_osmnames_run ... done
python3: can't open file '/osmnames/run.py': [Errno 13] Permission denied
ERROR: 2
[nscanu@dhcp-137-112-204-209 OSMNames]$

I double checked by:

1. cloning a fresh repository git clone git@github.com:OSMNames/OSMNames.git
2. changing the .env file for a small import:

# default config for psql
PGHOST=postgres
PGUSER=osm
PGPASSWORD=osm

# timezone e.g. for python logger
TZ=Europe/Zurich

DATA_DIR=/osmnames/data/
#PBF_FILE_URL=http://planet.osm.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf

# Trying it with a smaller extract might be useful
PBF_FILE_URL=https://download.openstreetmap.fr/extracts/europe/luxembourg.osm.pbf

# Skips additional information from Wikipedia
SKIP_WIKIPEDIA=True

3. and running osmnames docker-compose run --rm osmnames

and everything works as expected.

It looks a bit suspicious that you're running docker as root (sudo). Maybe you've to double check your docker setup?

[ScanuNicco]

I was able to get docker to run without root by adding my user to the docker group, but I'm still getting nearly identical output

[nscanu@dhcp-137-112-204-209 OSMNames]$ docker-compose run --rm osmnames
Creating osmnames_osmnames_run ... done
python3: can't open file '/osmnames/run.py': [Errno 13] Permission denied
ERROR: 2
[nscanu@dhcp-137-112-204-209 OSMNames]$

not sure what causes your problem... you could try to debug by starting the container with docker-compose run --rm osmnames bash. This starts the container and starts a bash session. Now you can list the files ls -ll, see the current directory pwd etc.

Btw. in the linked issue I see that you mention out of space error of docker. Therefore, I assume you encounter different errors. I would recommend you to just use an existing geocoder API like Nominatim https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/api/Search/.
