Nice post! Seeing that you integrating with 2 different services, I'm wondering if you looked at other, more integrated, options? Mapbox, HERE and LocationIQ (shameless plug) are options that offer geocoding and maps.

@dbatten, LocationIQ team member here. We have a new API backed by a new geocoding engine that uses additional datasets (OA, GNAF, etc) currently in final stages of BETA. Could you shoot us an email at hello@locationiq.com and you can try i

We did a study on self-hosting vs saas for geocoding. Here it is: https://view.attach.io/ryiFAKzmb It's a bit marketing-y though :-) Disclosure: we host an OSM compatible geocoder at https://locationiq.org

We're putting up a mapzen / pelias compatible endpoint soon on our geocoding service. https://locationiq.org It's OSM compatible at the moment.

They refunded the 'rate-limit' charge. Phew! Thanks to @jgrahamc, their CTO, for weighing in.

It's just a matter of scale; DevOps is a luxury at our scale. That said, we're getting other devs trained in basic ops to prevent such things..

This makes sense, we can rest easy knowing they didn't break out of the container. Thanks!

Update: I sent an email to the email on that script. And the person at the other end replied and mentioned that he/she is doing it for extra pocket money and was only mining on the server. We aren't going to pursue any legal charg

We were able to get in touch with the hacker and he told us he was just mining and not stealing stuff. We're still cleaning the whole system; might even pay him/her a bounty for this though.

Yes, it's a Redis vulnerability (caused by bad config on our part) in one container where the firewall was down. Strange thing if we run 'top' from the main host, all containers running redis say 'statd' as their us

Thank you for responding. We searched the whole system for authorized_keys files and found one created in a /var/lib/redis/ of a staging container (with no firewall) on this host. We then came across the redis vulnerabi

Funny thing is we don't do uploads anywhere and there's no CMS whatsoever.. Which leads us to believe it's an OS vulnerability. Would you how we could hire professionals to investigate this for us? And report it to appropriat

This is actually why we had to setup our own servers in the first place!

LocationIQ wasn't meant to compete with paid offerings. It was merely a way for the team at Unwired Labs to give back to the OSM community. We think the good folks at OSM deserves a great free tier. If geocoding needs are enterprise-gr

This actually started out as a free-offering for our customers once MapquestOpen started charging unreasonably. Our devs put up LocationIQ as a standalone project that we expect to support fully for a long time to come. Thanks for your wish

Indeed, and we need SSDs on a RAID! I remember we tried importing this on HDDs a year ago and it took 2 weeks and the average response time was 2000ms! Our current config allows an import in 8 hours and responds within 20ms (not including n

We'll check that out right away, thanks!

Haha, sure. :-)

We use a more stable version of Nominatim internally and pushed that out with locationIQ. :-)

by gopi_ar 10y ago
It's a value add anyway for our existing customers @ unwired labs. There's a lot of unused capacity though, so we thought why not give it away..
