Docker Compose Setup for Project OSRM

This directory contains a Docker Compose configuration to simplify running [Project OSRM](https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend).

With this way:

• Only use docker compose up -d  
• It launches a frontend service with health checks.
• Don't need to ensure services start in the correct order.

🏃 Quick Start

1️⃣ Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/elshan2000/osrm-backend.git
cd osrm-backend

How It Works

Init Service

• Checks for the marker file osrm_is_created.

• If not present, runs:

  • osrm-extract
  • osrm-partition
  • osrm-customize

• Creates the marker file.

• Exits after preparation.

Backend Service

• Depends on the frontend healthcheck.
• Starts osrm-routed serving prepared data.

Frontend Service

• Periodically checks for the presence of the marker file osrm_is_created.
• Reports healthy when the preparation is complete.
• This readiness allows the backend service to start safely.

�ힺ Health Check Logic

The frontend container performs a health check by verifying:

/data/osrm_is_created

Once the file exists, the health check reports healthy. This ensures that:

✅ Data preparation is complete before routing starts.

---

🧹 Clean Up

To stop and remove all containers:

docker compose down

To force re-preparation of the data (for example, if you want to regenerate .osrm files):

docker compose down
rm ./data/osrm_is_created
docker compose up -d
