## What it is
A Docker image packaging Nominatim, the OpenStreetMap geocoding engine, so it can be run as a self-contained container with automatic PBF data import. It exposes the standard Nominatim search and reverse-geocoding HTTP API on a configurable port.

## Use cases
- self-host an openstreetmap geocoding server
- run nominatim in docker
- geocode addresses from osm pbf files
- reverse geocode coordinates offline
- spin up a local nominatim api for testing
- import a country extract into nominatim

## When to choose
- you want a working Nominatim instance with minimal setup
- you need a self-hosted geocoder without installing PostgreSQL/PostGIS manually
- you want to test geocoding against a small extract like Monaco

## When to avoid
- you need a multi-container architecture with separated services
- you need to heavily customize the Nominatim build
- you only need a hosted geocoding API and don't want to run your own server

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: search-engine, self-hosted, deployment
- domain: self-hosted, web-development
- platform: self-hosted
