Awesome. I&#x27;ve been doing a bunch of geocoding recently and looked into self-hosting to get around the Nominatim (Open Street Map API) rate limit. In the past I used the datascience toolkit for this, which was awesome, but is no longer maintained. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.datasciencetoolkit.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.datasciencetoolkit.org</a>. Nominatim also has self-host instructions <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nominatim.org&#x2F;release-docs&#x2F;latest&#x2F;admin&#x2F;Installation&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nominatim.org&#x2F;release-docs&#x2F;latest&#x2F;admin&#x2F;Installation...</a><p>I decided not to self-host after seeing the spec requirements for Nominatim (64gb ram!). Much more than the old DSTK.<p>Looks like the specs to install this are much less, aboutt 8gb ram and tens of gb storage. Maybe i&#x27;ll give it a try.

Neat. I was going to moan that the boundary for Lewisham was far too wide but I double checked with Wikipedia and nope, it covers the extremities of Lewisham correctly.

More like super-coarse, I&#x27;m not sure how is this useful.
