That 600GB must surely include the full history? The xml dump of just the current openstreetmap data is only ~90GB, and generally XML dumps get smaller when you put them into a real database. That isn't a good comparison.
I could have sworn the last time I checked this the docker image had dependencies that simply were not available, either in docker or on git but I guess I'm mis-remembering.

- traverseda 6y agoWell I suck. I'm honestly not sure how I got so wrong on this issue.
