runtime error: The dispatcher (i.e. the database management system) is turned off.

I followed the instructions in the README and ran this docker command:

docker run     -e OVERPASS_PLANET_PREPROCESS='mv /db/planet.osm.bz2 /db/planet.osm.pbf && osmium cat -o /db/planet.osm.bz2 /db/planet.osm.pbf && rm /db/planet.osm.pbf'   -e OVERPASS_META=yes   -e OVERPASS_MODE=init   -e OVERPASS_PLANET_URL=http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/florida-latest.osm.pbf   -e OVERPASS_DIFF_URL=http://download.openstreetmap.fr/replication/north-america/us-south/florida/minute/   -e OVERPASS_RULES_LOAD=10   -v ./overpass_db/:/db   -p 12345:80   -i -t   --name overpass_florida wiktorn/overpass-api

Then I ran docker start overpass_florida:

I ran your provided command and it worked like expected. Overpass container initialization complete. Exiting. So try it again with a clean setup may help? 😅
