# osm-search
This is a tool for allowing user friendly proximity queries from OpenStreetMap data.
Bellingcat has a hosted version of the tool at https://osm-search.bellingcat.com/. For more information, see [the accompanying article](https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/how-tos/2023/05/08/finding-geolocation-leads-with-bellingcats-openstreetmap-search-tool/).
## Setup and hosting your own
### Setting up the database
A Postgres database must be set up with OSM data. This can be done with `osm2pgsql`.
`osm2pgsql -d osm --hstore-all planet-latest.osm.pbf`
Next, some additional setup should be done on the database for performance and to create a combined view of all the data:
```
psql -d osm clean.sql
psql -d osm cluster.sql
psql -d osm index.sql
psql -d osm analyze.sql
psql -d osm views.sql
```
Note that if you run this using the entire planet OSM file, it will require about 700GB of space.
### Running the API
The API requires environment variables for connection with Postgres.
- `PG_DB`
- `PG_HOST`
- `PG_PORT`
- `PG_USER`
- `PG_PASSWORD`
It also requires a Google Firebase service account credentials file, which must be named `service_account.json`.
### Running the frontend
The frontend requires environment variables for Mapbox geocoding queries and for Firebase. These variables will be publicly viewable and built into the app.
- `VUE_APP_MAPBOX_TOKEN`
- `VUE_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY`
- `VUE_APP_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN`
- `VUE_APP_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID`
- `VUE_APP_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET`
- `VUE_APP_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID`
- `VUE_APP_FIREBASE_APP_ID`
