How to run pelias with custom data

Question

I have millions of Bangladesh address data. They are clean and well structured ( Poi, House,Road,Area,Postcode,latitude,longitude,etc ) Now I want to load them into pelias geocoder. Can you help me by suggesting the steps with installation process.

Note: I also have my own pbf

Answer 1

You can use the csv-import component. See: https://github.com/pelias/csv-importer

An example I've used in the csv file:

name,source,layer,lon,lat,number,street,unit,city,district,region,postcode,id,addendum_json_custom
123 JACKSON AVE,custom,address,-86.66,40.7666,344,JACKSON AVE,,PERU,,IN,46970,651ds651d651,"{ ""customInfo"":""Something Custom"" }"
123 S 600 E,custom,address,-86.66,40.7666,4503,S 600 E,,PIERCETON,,IN,46562,651ewd2332e,"{ ""customInfo"":""Something Custom"" }"

Be sure to use the double quotes in the addendum json as specified in the documentation.

If you are doing Points of Interest, then you may choose a different layer like venue.

You will have to configure the pelias.conf with the source of the files for inport and the api target to specify the source > layer.

As for installation, I've found the dockerized situation to be best for getting started. https://github.com/pelias/docker
