Introduction

govgis_nov2023-slim-spatial-server is a Dockerized project combining PostGIS and pgvector extensions to process and serve a comprehensive geospatial dataset, govgis_nov2023. This project aims to provide a robust framework for efficient handling and querying of geospatial data along with high-dimensional vector similarity search capabilities, leveraging the power of PostgreSQL.

Components

• PostGIS: An extension of PostgreSQL, enabling it to store and manipulate spatial data.
• pgvector: A PostgreSQL extension for efficient similarity searches in high-dimensional vector spaces.
• govgis_nov2023: A rich dataset encapsulating metadata from various government GIS servers as of November 2023.

Docker Composition

The docker-compose.yml file in this project defines multiple services:

1. postgres: Utilizes the joshuasundance/postgis_pgvector:1.0.0 image, incorporating both PostGIS and pgvector.
2. postgres-init: A service to initialize the database with data from the govgis_nov2023 dataset.
3. pgadmin: Provides a web interface for database management using dpage/pgadmin4:7.8.

Usage

1. Setup: Clone the repository and navigate to the directory containing the docker-compose.yml file.
2. Configuration: Adjust the .env file to set necessary environment variables.
3. Build and Run: Execute docker compose up to build and start the services.
4. Access pgAdmin: Open http://localhost:80 in a web browser for database management.

Database Initialization

The postgres-init service is responsible for loading data into the database. It processes the govgis_nov2023 dataset, transforming it into a suitable format for PostgreSQL, and then populates the database.

Customization

• Environment Variables: Modify the .env file to set values like POSTGRES_PASSWORD, POSTGRES_USER, etc.
• Data Source: You can change the source of the govgis_nov2023 dataset by modifying the load_data.py script.

Notes

• Docker and Docker Compose are prerequisites.
• The project is intended for development and testing purposes.
• Secure your database and pgAdmin for production use.
