Each search query times out for Nominatim 2.5 running on a full Germany map about nominatim-docker HOT 10 CLOSED

Have the exact same problem running all of North America.

@vak @mikeppp were you able to solve this? running into the same problem with North America as well

from nominatim-docker.

No I haven't!!!
We are kind of dead in the water until this resolved :(

EVERY flavour of nominatum docker we have tried has the SAME issue!!

I can't believe that this has been such an issue for so long with no one fixing it!!

from nominatim-docker.

Darn.. Thanks for the reply! Looks like I may have to use a paid API to reliably geocode without a ton of hassle

from nominatim-docker.

Yup :(

If you use Azure you can Bing for relatively cheaply.... It's quite fast and North America geocoding coverage is excellent...

from nominatim-docker.

Oh cool - I do use azure, I'll take a look!

from nominatim-docker.

yes. I resolved it somehow. if I remember right, i've entered the Postgres and just re-issued the last query shown in logs from console. After this query succeeded things were fine with Nominatim. However I don't remember the details, it was in Dec 2017 ;)

from nominatim-docker.

Yes it worked for us as well in 2017 ...

Try it now and see how it goes...

Maybe it is because of the Postgres config?
I experienced similar errors:
I entered a street name, the server started thinking and after a several seconds, an error page was displayed (server error, internal timeout).
After that I took a look into the Postgres config (which is all default). I copied this

shared_buffers = 1GB # min 128kB
maintenance_work_mem = 10GB # min 1MB
work_mem = 50MB # min 64kB
maintenance_work_mem = 1GB # min 1MB
effective_cache_size = 1GB
synchronous_commit = off # synchronization level;
checkpoint_segments = 10 # in logfile segments, min 1, 16MB each
checkpoint_timeout = 10min # range 30s-1h
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9 # checkpoint target duration, 0.0 - 1.0

at the end of config file and restarted everything.
I have not experienced any issues after that (quick test using some random adresses in germany).

Hopefully this "fixed" it. But it just might working because of hot caches.

Closing the issue for now, please try the latest version (3.6 at the moment), there have been a lot of changes / fixes, thanks!
