a) is "boring", but last I looked was still far from a simple installation (tar.gz, apt-get, docker or otherwise).
On mobile now, so I can't test but if this is a simple way to start a local read only server, it is already a significant improvement.
- rmc 11y agoThere isn't a load of benefit to having a read only OSM API database. If you want to load the data into an OSM editor like JOSM, you can open an OSM XML file. If you want to render maps from OSM data, you have to load it into postgresql with osm2pgsql which works with OSM pbf or xml files. A local API db is rarely useful.

- beagle3 11y agoThanks -- that's from the original article, whose contribution describing an easy way to set up a local OSM server is what I was applauding.
