Amazon ECS: Setting initialize to false in docker deployment.

[mohit-bureau]

We are trying to install it on the AWS ECS platform. There are external postgres database which has already imported data. But still, nominatim is trying to import the data. Is there any env variable to disable initialization?

Database: Google Cloud SQL

The database is imported by helm chart provided in k8s deployment methods. Now, I wanted to use the same database with the service deployed on ECS. I am not sure why it is creating the database.

Logs:

same problem, but using RDS postrgres. Worth mention that spawning a task on ecs works "fine" ( not mentioning the persistency problems) but using a ecs Service to spawn the task do not work, the container kinda freeze after the db creation. after more than 1h no more logs had been written...
