This section provides a reference of all configuration parameters that can be used with Nominatim.
Configuring Nominatim
Nominatim uses dotenv to manage
its configuration settings. There are two means to set configuration
variables: through an .env configuration file or through an environment
variable.
The .env configuration file needs to be placed into the
project directory. It
must contain configuration parameters in <parameter>=<value> format.
Please refer to the dotenv documentation for details.
The configuration options may also be set in the form of shell environment variables. This is particularly useful, when you want to temporarily change a configuration option. For example, to force the replication serve to download the next change, you can temporarily disable the update interval:
NOMINATIM_REPLICATION_UPDATE_INTERVAL=0 nominatim replication --once
If a configuration option is defined through .env file and environment variable, then the latter takes precedence.
