## Common questions

### How do I perform the initial map import in this Docker container?

Create a Docker volume, mount your .osm.pbf file as /data/region.osm.pbf, and run the container with import. Once the container exits without errors, run the container with run to start serving tiles.

### Which Docker volume contains the map database?

The PostgreSQL database is stored in the osm-data Docker volume. That volume contains the imported OpenStreetMap data.

### Can the tile server run on an isolated machine?

The run process does not require internet access, but the import process does. For an isolated system, import on an internet-connected machine, export the osm-data volume as a tarfile, and restore it on the target machine.

### How do I enable automatic updates for a regional PBF?

Reference both the .osm.pbf and .poly files during import and set UPDATES=enabled. If you only have the .osm.pbf file and no .poly file, do not enable automatic updates.

### Can the container download the map files instead of me mounting them?

Yes, the DOWNLOAD_PBF and DOWNLOAD_POLY parameters let the container download the files for you.
