I have my own hosted instance of openrouteservice using their Docker image ([https://github.com/GIScience/openrouteservice](https://github.com/GIScience/openrouteservice)). I downloaded the .pbf file of the Netherlands from [https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/netherlands.html](https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/netherlands.html), and I set to use this file in the docker-compose file.
When I run a simple query on this instance, like:
```auto
url:
http://my-domain/ors/v2/directions/driving-car/json?
Headers:
{
"headers": {
"User-Agent": "ORSClientPython.v2.2.3",
"Content-type": "application/json",
"Authorization": null
},
"timeout": 60,
"json": {
"coordinates": [
[
4.451162,
51.926484
],
[
4.301373,
52.049112
],
[
4.528832,
52.06009
],
[
4.322566,
52.057557
],
[
4.256713,
52.071065
],
[
4.223623,
52.024614
],
[
4.451162,
51.926484
]
]
}
}
```
I get the response `Could not find point 0: 4.4511620 51.9264840 within a radius of 350.0 meters.` While, when I run this exact same query, I do get a succesful response.
Does anyone know what is going wrong here?
Here’s my docker-compose.yml:
```auto
version: '3'
services:

container_name: ors-app

- 8080:8080

Hallo,
I’m also from the Netherlands and I’m also trying to get the service working with that same file. It seems to me that the .pbf file of the entire Netherlands is broken right now. Building routes of each provice separately works fine.
Also you should change BUILD\_GRAPHS=False to BUILD\_GRAPHS=True otherwise it will not try to recalculate the graphs. (which determine your routes)
Also if, after changing the environment variable, you have any luck with the netherlands-latest.osm.pbf file, let me know. 🙂

You sure about that? Did you try all provinces separately, they build, but entire country doesn’t?
What’s the error? I’d guess on a out-of-memory?!

There IS a tiny bug(ish):

When the container starts the first time, it most likely will build Heidelberg. Try coordinates from Heidelberg, my guess is they work. If you just restart the container it should work. But to be sure do `BUILD_GRAPHS=True`.

Thanks, this was exactly the issue I had!
Apparently the graphs were built using the Heidelberg dataset so it couldn’t find my Dutch coordinates.
I deleted the graphs folder, which is equivalent to setting BUILD\_GRAPHS=True to build the correct graphs.

Yeah damn. Will fix that tmrw or the weekend. Almost everyone, myself included, gets confused by that.

I fixed it as well. My issue was that it wasn’t using my updated config file and I had to run it with `init_thread: 1` instead of 2. I didn’t explicitly get an out of memory exception though… odd.
Glad we all got it working though! 🙂

Ooh yes that is a good point. Almost forgot that it can be an issue. You must’ve tested a lot to get to that point. Really sorry about that!

For new features or changes involving the graphbuilding process (i.e. changing encoders, updating the importer etc.), I have generated longer distance routes for the affected profiles with different options (avoid features, max weight etc.) and compared these with the routes of the same parameters and start/end points generated from the current live ORS. If there are differences then the reasoning for these \*\*MUST\*\* be documented in the pull request.

> \### Information about the changes
> \- Key functionality added:
> - default \`app.config.sample\` from \`./openrouteservice/src/main/resources/app.config.sample\` is used to build the image
> - be aware the image changes the \`app.config\` to
> - only build \`car\` instead of all profiles
> - \`init\_threads: 1\` since \> 1 can cause issues
> - changes all paths to docker image paths
> - uses the default \`heidelberg.osm.gz\`
> \- Reason for change: Before we had two \`app.config\`, one for the native Java app, one for docker. This PR removes that maintenance burden.
The image is not available on dockerhub yet, but you can pull the associated branch and do a manual build:
```bash
docker build -t openrouteservice/openrouteservice:test_docker --build-arg OSM_FILE=./your_osm.pbf APP_CONFIG=./your.app.config .
```
Or even omit the `build-arg`s and specify those as environment variables in the `docker-compose.yml` to launch a container.

I was able to get this version to run with the fix. Unfortunately, I’m unable to update the query limits as I had in the app.config. How should I increase the max time for isochrones in the Dockerfile?

You should be able to change it as before, but possibly it is using a cached image so I would try the build with the `--no-cache` parameter aswell

It’s a mapped path, there’s no cache. Whatever you change in there, will be immediately reflected inside the container and a restart of the container should load the new settings.

Interesting. I tried to do this numerous times. Searched for anything with 3600 (isochrone time limit) and changed every app.config that I could find, just in case it was still somehow pulling from a different location. Well, nothing worked, so I force fed it in the Dockerfile, which worked for everything except the profile-car… Below is the Dockerfile. The new numbers are more or less arbitrary, just trying to ensure I can properly increase them before determining my needed limits. Of course, if I ever change these settings, I have to rebuild, not just restart the container.
