Merge two files .osm.bz2

Hello, i installed my own overpass API server. Today i only work with French country data and everything is ok. I would like to add the Canada but i don't know how to do that. I tried to merge two .osm files with osmconvert64 but i've got an error : unexpected end of file in france-latest.osm. Do you have a good method to do that ?

Thanks for all

Osmium can merge two OSM files: osmium merge file1.osm file2.osm -o merged.osm. Osmium can read and write any OSM file format. I recommend you use PBF format for best performance. Make sure to use files that are extracted from the same planet file (for instance Geofabrik extracts). Do not use files from different points in time, otherwise you might get wierd effects.

In your specific use case, you could also just import one file after another into the same directory, i.e. run

bunzip2 <$FIRST_FILE | $EXEC_DIR/bin/update_database --db-dir=$DB_DIR/ --meta
bunzip2 <$SECOND_FILE | $EXEC_DIR/bin/update_database --db-dir=$DB_DIR/ --meta

If there is conflicting data then the data from the last file wins.
