Requirements:

Docker service

• Docker Engine

Optional: Postgresql client on host

• For Debian variants install a client with:

sudo apt install postgresql-client

Installing/Bootstrapping the Service

See install guide.

Load State Tiger Line Data

After making sure the requirements are correctly installed.

Run the bootstrapping loader for $STATE

bash load-tiger-geocoder.sh $STATE

The loading step can take a long time depending on network connection speed. The tiger data is stored in a docker volume mount that is persistant as long as the docker engine maintains the volume.
