Nominatim-UI

Debugging user interface for Nominatim (source) geocoder.

The frontend runs standalone as website and will request data from a separate Nominatim API running on http://localhost:80/nominatim/ (configurable, see below).

Download a stable release from https://github.com/osm-search/nominatim-ui/releases. For technical background, how to develop and create a release see CONTRIBUTE.md file at https://github.com/osm-search/nominatim-ui/.

Starting the frontend

You can either

• open the dist directory in your browser.

• if you have Python installed (part of the Nominatim API server installation):

  1. cd dist
  2. start webserver python3 -m http.server 8765
  3. open http://localhost:8765/ in your browser

• start a webserver using (Big list of http static server one-liners) or configure Apache, nginx or other webservers to serve the dist directory.

Configuration

You can customize your installation by creating and editing dist/theme/config.theme.js which allows you to override the default values provided by dist/config.default.js. See the config.theme.js.example in the same directory for examples.

The dist/theme/ directory also contains files make it easy to set a different logo image, colors, welcome and help text.
