#2Awesome. I've been doing a bunch of geocoding recently and looked into self-hosting to get around the Nominatim (Open Street Map API) rate limit. In the past I used the datascience toolkit for this, which was awesome, but is no longer maintained. http://www.datasciencetoolkit.org. Nominatim also has self-host instructions https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/admin/Installation...
I decided not to self-host after seeing the spec requirements for Nominatim (64gb ram!). Much more than the old DSTK.
Looks like the specs to install this are much less, aboutt 8gb ram and tens of gb storage. Maybe i'll give it a try.

You can get 64GB this with Hetzner for less than $100 a month I think if you need the higher level of precision.

I can attest to pelias (the regular fullsize version of this) running quite well on a 16gb ram server, it was just one country but the server had many other services on it so it might work for you depends on your usecase I suppose.

#7More like super-coarse, I'm not sure how is this useful.

#8Neat. I was going to moan that the boundary for Lewisham was far too wide but I double checked with Wikipedia and nope, it covers the extremities of Lewisham correctly.
