docker_mimir: Default Mimir Import Tool

• This tool is the easiest way to import data for the Mimir geocoding system.
• Basically docker_mimir is an import pipeline based on invoke. The easiest way to configure invoke is to create a custom configuration file. All possible variables are commented in the default configuration file: invoke.yaml.
• Running docker_mimir requires pipenv.

How to use it

To configure the required data directories, some environment variable can be set (in cli or in a .env file in the directory). The env variables that can be set as follows:

OSM_DIR=<path to osm data dir>
ADDR_DIR=<path to addresses data dir>
COSMOGONY_DIR=<path to cosmogony data dir>

• Note that you don't need to set the variable that are not used in the configuration file.
• Once the variables are set, to run mimir you need to do:

pipenv run inv -f docker_settings.yaml load-in-docker-and-test

• The file docker_settings.yaml contains an example configuration to download and import data about Luxembourg.
• This will:
  • run a docker-compose up.
  • import some data in Mimir.
  • run geocoder-tester and write results in a local directory.

About Tests

• If you don't want to run the tests you can also use invoke chaining calls:

pipenv run inv -f docker_settings.yaml compose-up load-all compose-down

• Some other docker-compose files can also be given (this will use the docker compose override mechanism). It will for example make it possible to use customly build image to run tests on a given Mimir (or Fafnir, Cosmogony, ...) branch.

• The file paths are given with the --files arguments, as follows:

pipenv run inv -f docker_settings.yaml load-in-docker-and-test --files my-docker-compose.yml --files my-other-compose.yml
