How to enable libpostal service?

[Defozo]

I have a problem with libpostal <-> Pelias API integration.

---

Here's what I did 😇

I set up elasticsearch, openstreetmap importer and pelias API following the documentation.
I installed libpostal using this script:

git clone https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal
cd libpostal
./bootstrap.sh
mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/datadir
./configure --datadir=/home/ubuntu/datadir
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

---

Here's what I got 🙀

When quering /v1/search?text=...
I get:

...
"errors":["libpostal service disabled"]
...

And this on Pelias API console:
2018-06-27T16:03:08.764Z - warn: [api] unknown geocoding error string: libpostal service disabled

---

Here's what I was expecting ✨

I expected to see coordinates without any errors and warnings.

Hello,

Now libpostal is a microservice. You can see the correct config here.
In you pelias config you should have this:

...
"api": {
    "services": {
      "placeholder": {
        "url": "http://placeholder:4100"
      },
      "libpostal": {
        "url": "http://libpostal:8080"
      },
      "pip": {
        "url": "http://pip-service:4200"
      },
      "interpolation": {
        "url": "http://interpolation:4300"
      }
    }
  }
...

Libpostal service can be retrieved here or with the docker image pelias/go-whosonfirst-libpostal

@Joxit, thanks for the perfect reply :) @Defozo let us know if you have any issues. there is also more clarification around all of this coming with pelias/documentation#223, so let me know if anything there would have helped, or doesn't make sense.
