docker-flask-geoparsepy's Issues

Outdated version. Does not work any more.

There are several issues with this repository.

• Linked documentation is dead
• It's based on Ubuntu:latest, the packages in the Dockerfile now need to be python3-pip python3-dev etc.
• The docker-compose uses mdillon/postgis as postgres image which is PG11, so postgresql-client-11 must be installed in the Dockerfile too
• The code does not work with the current geoparsy lib eg. geoparsepy.common_parse_lib is no longer there.
  That's the point where I stopped.
  Sorry for not sending a pull request, but when I saw the code quality I think it's not worth it to invest time in this.
