Comment on Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline

If you do not configure anything, then Reitti will skip Geocoding and only display Unknown Place.

Ah ok thanks. This is what I was wondering.

Two follow-ups:

Can you specify multiple COUNTRY_CODEs? (and if so, is the method

environment:
  - COUNTRY_CODE=country_one
  - COUNTRY_CODE=country_two

environment:
  - COUNTRY_CODE=[country_one, country_two]

or something else?)

And is this something that can seemlessly be retroactively changed? For example, if I set COUNTRY_CODE=au and it works fine for Australia, but then I move to NZ, can I add (assuming the answer to my first question is yes) or change to COUNTRY_CODE=nz and have all the NZ locations work on the already-recorded data, even if I made that change to my configuration after I had been in NZ for a few months?

Good question, afaik you can not enter multiple countries to Photon. I was hoping it would be possible but everything i saw was it is either on country or the whole world. But maybe you can have a look here: github.com/komoot/photon That is the service we are using.

  I just took a really quick look at it, but under Importing data from Nominatim it says “-country-codes allows to filter the data to be imported by country. Set this to a comma-separated list of two-letter language codes.”
  
  That’s a different section from the Importing data from a JSON dump section, which is where it only mentions -country-code. But even that does seem to suggest it takes “all the parameters of an import from a Nominatim database”. So it seems like either the documentation for one of them is wrong, or both are lacking (because in fact both the singular and plural work).

    I think this is not exposed when running the Docker container. But let me check later when i have time what happens if i put another country in that variable

    I looked at the docker image i am using in the docker-compose file and this only supports having a single country code. The actual reason can be found here: github.com/rtuszik/…/start-photon.sh#L341C5-L342C…
    
    It is probably possible if you deploy photon on its own and then import the data somehow. But that is to much hassle for me, i think and hope that most of the use case is handled by the current solution. At least for most of the potential users. But I get the point if someone is traveling a lot between countries.
    
    If there is enough demand I could maybe try to create a PR for the Docker image to handle multiple country codes.
