Shutdown docker container and resume it later

[leandroacostag]

Hello,

I have a full planet installation on an EC2 instance. Everything is working perfectly. But I'd like to shut it down and start it again in the future. If I do this will I have to rerun everything? Is it possible to resume it as it was?

On the container parameters I've specified this:
-v nominatim-data:/var/lib/postgresql/12/main

If it is possible, which would be the safest way of shutting it down?

As you can see in our README you did the right thing: https://github.com/mediagis/nominatim-docker/tree/master/4.0#persistent-container-data

You have a docker volume nominatim-data now that hosts the PostgreSQL files. You can also verify that by running docker volume list.

You can just stop and restart the container, a re-import should not happen.

Hi philip, should I start it with the same settings as the first time?
