[OSM-dev] Live Database Copy of Planet File

Does anyone know where I can find some "simple" instructions on how to
create a live copy of the planet file.

Ideally I want to feed the diff and the plate file in and have a database
that is admittedly read only but is as up to date as possible.

I'm happy if its just a flow chart as I will probably want
to pre-process the data for my self as it goes in.

I've this feeling this should be doable with a mix of osmosis and cron and
I'm sure I could work it out for my self, but no point in repeating the task
if there are already instructions to do this.

Ideally I want to use this for Geocoding, so I would probably need to update
my indexes as I add the diff files, and use a customized parser.

May also need some way so I can have a live copy of just part of the planet
say just Uk or Europe to start with....

Peter.
