Graphhopper docker provider repository

Important

Looking for a maintainer! We are looking for someone to take over maintenance of this repository as we are no longer using graphhopper. If you are interested, please open an issue.

This repository holds the very basic things in order to make sure there's an updated graphhopper docker image which we use in our production server. Images can be found here: https://hub.docker.com/r/israelhikingmap/graphhopper

I would like to first and foremost thank the graphhopper team for their hard work and amazing product! They are doing a great job and we are truly happy to help by contributing to their code base like we had done in the past. Graphhopper team has decided not to build a docker image and this repository is here to bridge that gap. This repository is extremely simple, all it does is the following:

1. Every night at 1 AM (UTC) it builds the latest code using Github actions from the graphhopper repository and uploads the image to docker hub with the latest tag. Images are built for both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 and run on Java 25 (Eclipse Temurin JRE)
2. It checks if there's a new version tag, and if so builds it and uploads it as well with the relevant tag
3. Adds a graphhopper.sh file for ease of use

That's all.

Feel free to submit issues or pull requests if you would like to improve the code here

This docker image uses the following default environment setting:

JAVA_OPTS: "-Xmx1g -Xms1g"

For a quick startup you can run the following command to create the andorra routing:

docker run -p 8989:8989 israelhikingmap/graphhopper --url https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/andorra-latest.osm.pbf --host 0.0.0.0

Then surf to http://localhost:8989/

You can also completely override the entry point and use this for example:

docker run --entrypoint /bin/bash israelhikingmap/graphhopper -c "wget https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin-latest.osm.pbf -O /data/berlin.osm.pbf && java -Ddw.graphhopper.datareader.file=/data/berlin.osm.pbf -Ddw.graphhopper.graph.location=berlin-gh -jar *.jar server config-example.yml"

Checkout graphhopper.sh for more usage options such as import.

In order to build the docker image locally, please run ./build.sh.
