Places not found, can't use reverse geocoding API

Question

Hi !

I've tried to setup my own Nominatim reverse geocoding server and I've come into some issues. I've resolved some of them myselves but I'm stuck at the API fetching in reverse geocoding. Apparently, the database is incomplete because it throws me an error at my root access (localhost/) and reverse geocoding isn't working as it's throwing that the place couldn't be found.

I've poked around the databse and places hasn't been found in the tables. Here is the logs :

root@ns39147:/home/nominatim-docker# curl "http://localhost:7070/"

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <style> em { font-weight: bold; font-family: monospace; color: #e00404; background-color: #ffeaea; } </style> </head> <body>

Internal Server Error

    <p>Nominatim has encountered an internal error while accessing the database.
       This may happen because the database is broken or because of a bug in
       the software.</p>

 public | place_boundingbox | table | nominatim
 public | spatial_ref_sys   | table | nominatim
 public | us_postcode       | table | nominatim
(6 rows)

For info I'm using nominatim-docker from mediagis 3.4 which uses postgres 11 and postgis 2.5. The OSM files I've used are from geofabrik : Nord-pas-de-calais (a region of France), Monaco, and Finland. All don't work.

My question is : what am I missing to get the reverse geocoding API to work ?

Thanks for your help :)
