geocoder

gRPC based geocoding service

Adapter for external geocoding services with caching, monitoring, metrics etc. Has built-in support for timezone queries (resolve coordinates to timezone) implemented using amazing Brad Fitzpatrick's library. Supports Google's Geocoding API and Opencage for now.

Usage

Docker Compose (Recommended)

The easiest way to run the service is using Docker Compose:

1. Copy the example environment file and fill in your API keys:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your GOOGLE_API_KEY_SERVER and OPENCAGE_API_KEY

1. Start the services:

docker-compose up -d

This will start:

• Redis on port 6379
• Geocoding service on port 8080 (gRPC)
• Prometheus metrics endpoint on port 9092

1. Check the logs:

docker-compose logs -f geocoder

1. Stop the services:

docker-compose down

Docker image

docker run \
    -p 8080:8080 -p 9092:9092 \
    -e REDIS_HOST=redis \
    -e GOOGLE_API_KEY_SERVER=<your-google-key> \
    -e OPENCAGE_API_KEY=<your-opencage-key> \
    rentberry:geocoder

This will start geocoding service that listens for grpc connections on port 8080 and exposes prometheus metrics on /metrics on port 9092
