Insert new addresses to self-hosted instance

Hello,

I have a self-hosted instance of nominatim. There are scenarios where the OSM data will not have addresses that a user will look up.

What is the best way (even if manual) to insert a new address info in my own database instance? I only use my isntance for address look up and do not have map interactions, so only need data like: number, street, postcode, suburb, state, city, lat, long

I am aware I can update the OSM database and do an update on my instance. But I don’t quite want to rely on this as I would like to have new addresses available on insert.

(I do have a plan to on occasion, take these manually inserted addresses and then update the OSM db)

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:
