How to set up your own OSRM backend with Docker on Windows

The OSRM docker quick start provides a great explanation on how to set up the container: https://hub.docker.com/r/osrm/osrm-backend/ Yet - for Docker on Windows minor changes were necessary for me (otherwise I'd get "File not found" or "Permission" errors). ### Outline [toc] ### Download OpenStreetMap extract Download OpenStreetMap extracts for example from [Geofabrik](http://download.geofabrik.de/) e.g. - for Taiwan use: http://download.geofabrik.de/asia/taiwan-latest.osm.pbf Save the OpenStreetMap extract in a folder you can access from the shared drive: e.g. if your shared drive is `D:` place it in a folder `D:/docker` ### Used Taiwan car.lua config Find car.lua config file in the folder `./doc` and copy it to `D:/docker` ### Install Docker on Windows If you are using Windows 10 Pro and have Hyper-V enabled, you can install Docker for Windows. If you are using Windows 10 Home, you can install Docker Toolbox instead. Docker Toolbox uses Oracle VirtualBox instead of Hyper-V. ##### Docker Desktop for Windows 10 pro * Download and install Docker for Windows from :https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows OR ##### Docker Toolbox for Windows 10 home or Windows 7/8 * Download and install Docker Toolbox from https://github.com/docker-archive/toolbox/releases * Click Docker Quickstart Terminal to start the Docker terminal * Open Oracle VM VirtualBox * Open configuration of the default virtual machine and go to shared folders * Modify or create a new shared folder by clicking on buttons to the right. Set options to: `D:\docker` and `docker` ,then click Auto mount and Permanent configuration. * Shutdown the default virtual machine then restart it. * mount the shared folder by running the following command in the Docker terminal: `sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=50 docker /docker` ### Pull the image docker pull osrm/osrm-backend ### Pre-process extract Pre-process the extract and start a routing engine HTTP server on port 5000. Depending on what kind of routing you want to use, choose the profile accordingly: - **car**: car.lua docker run -t -v d:/docker:/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-extract -p /data/**PROFILE**.lua /data/**CITY**-latest.osm.pbf *So for car rides in Taiwan use:* docker run -t -v d:/docker:/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-extract -p /data/car.lua /data/taiwan-latest.osm.pbf - If you use Docker Toolbox, replace `d:/docker` with `/docker` Then run (used CH algorithm ): docker run -t -v d:/docker:/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-contract /data/taiwan-latest.osm - If you use Docker Toolbox, replace `d:/docker` with `/docker` OR Then run (used MLD algorithm ): docker run -t -v d:/docker:/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-partition /data/taiwan-latest.osrm docker run -t -v d:/docker:/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-customize /data/taiwan-latest.osrm - If you use Docker Toolbox, replace `d:/docker` with `/docker` ### Start the Routing Engine If you use CH algorithm : docker run -t -i -p 5000:5000 -v d:/docker:/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-routed --max-table-size=1000 /data/taiwan-latest.osrm - If you use Docker Toolbox, replace `d:/docker` with `/docker` If you use MLD algorithm : docker run --name osrm -t -i -p 5000:5000 -v d:/docker:/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-routed --algorithm mld --max-table-size=1000 /data/taiwan-latest.osrm - If you use Docker Toolbox, replace `d:/docker` with `/docker` Then the docker container should be running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ IF you use Docker Toolbox, you can find the IP address of the docker machine by running: docker-machine ip Then the docker container should be running on http://**DOCKER_MACHINE_IP**:5000/ ### Test the Routing Engine Test request: http://localhost:5000/route/v1/driving/121.5751292,25.0690308;121.650032,25.077068 Good luck! ### Reference * How to set up your own OSRM backend with Docker on Windows https://gist.github.com/AlexandraKapp/e0eee2beacc93e765113aff43ec77789 * docker-toolbox https://github.com/docker-archive/toolbox/releases * 如何在 Windows 10 家用版上安裝並使用 Docker Toolbox https://hackmd.io/@titangene/docker-collection/%2FDKXOJpVfS0Co-o5F9SCMSQ?type=book * Mounting Docker volumes with Docker Toolbox for Windows https://headsigned.com/posts/mounting-docker-volumes-with-docker-toolbox-for-windows/ * github copilot (translate to english) https://github.com/features/copilot
