[Question] Own database option

[paulorb]

I am trying to understand if the option described on the https://dev.overpass-api.de/overpass-doc/en/more_info/setup.html section "Create an own database" is supported using the container approach.

What I am trying to achieve:
Download only a local extract of the open street map data and use Overpass-API on it. Disable the diff updates as well. In other words a totally off-line deployment with all files/database being provided as input (mount) to the service on startup.

Both init and clone downloads from server url from what I understood. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Paulo

Yes, this is main use of this container. With clone approach, you won't be able to have local extract there, as it will copy full world from the public instance.

In init mode, you can define the source URL of the data - it might be one of the extracts publicly available or you can create your own and just use file:/// URL to point to local file.
