Tanzania Locations Repo

Quick Introduction

Tanzania locations, All Regions from Tanzania, with their respective Districts wards & streets.

Very useful for easily implementing Tanzania locations in any application.

How to use

What you need before running the code.

1. Install & Start Postgresql Db Service

2. Extract everything

• Give setup.sh execute permission with chmod +x ./setup.sh

• Run the setup file with ./setup.sh

• Close PL/PgSQL prompts with :q whenever prompted, this will happen in the last phrase of data extraction, which you will need to close the prompt for it to continue eg. "save_regions" etc..

3. This will create a database called locations that will have user postgres and have all the data.

4. You can check the data with psql -U postgres -d locations and run queries like SELECT * FROM regions; to verify the data.

For Docker

1. Pull image

docker pull archnoob/tanzania-locations-db

2. After pulling the image, create a .env file based on the provided template:

cp env.example .env

3. Run with Docker Compose (Recommended)

docker-compose up -d

4. Or run mannually (with env vars)

docker run -d \
  --name tanzania-locations \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=locations \
  archnoob/tanzania-locations-db
