Different results within the self-hosted version

[sathishlakshmanan]

I have self-hosted Nominatim geocoding server on Ubuntu 22.04 following this post https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/osm-nominatim-geocoding-server-ubuntu-22-04 and also setup a web server with Apache.

As you can see in the results below, fields like name, addresstype are present when queried via CLI but missing when queried via Apache web server. I would like to know why this is happening and how can this be rectified. TIA

nominatim search --query berlin --limit 1 --format json

Nominatim is being rewritten from PHP to Python. Huge project and can lead to confusion. In Nominatim 4.3 the CLI runs against the Python code, the website by default (and based on the tutorial you linked) against PHP. See https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/admin/Deployment-Python/ how to switch to the Python frontend.

Current plan is that Nominatim 4.4 will make the Python frontend default. (https://nominatim.org/2023/12/19/roadmap-nominatim5.html)
