On: Show HN: Desert Atlas, a self-hosted OpenStreetMap...

Note, that Nominatim is not based on ElasticSearch but PostgreSQL and recently are working on "Nominatim lite" (with SQLite): https://nominatim.org/2023/10/25/sqlite-reverse.html

Maybe the confusion stems from the part that the same dev is also the dev of photon? (which is based on ElasticSearch)

I could have sworn it was ElasticSearch. But yeah maybe I found Photon when I was looking for alternatives. I'll fix the post.

Thank you for this very useful info, I will keep my eye on Nominatim lite! If it's coming soon I can focus on things other than search for now.
