Pre-process the extract with the car profile and start a routing engine HTTP server on port 5000
docker run -t -v "${PWD}:/data" osrm/osrm-backend osrm-extract -p /opt/car.lua /data/new-zealand-latest.osm.pbf
The flag -v "${PWD}:/data" creates the directory /data inside the docker container and makes the current working directory "${PWD}" available there. The file /data/new-zealand-latest.osm.pbf inside the container is referring to "${PWD}/new-zealand-latest.osm.pbf" on the host.
docker run -t -v "${PWD}:/data" osrm/osrm-backend osrm-partition /data/new-zealand-latest.osrm
docker run -t -v "${PWD}:/data" osrm/osrm-backend osrm-customize /data/new-zealand-latest.osrm
Note that new-zealand-latest.osrm has a different file extension.
docker run -t -i -p 5000:5000 -v "${PWD}:/data" osrm/osrm-backend osrm-routed --algorithm mld /data/new-zealand-latest.osrm
