Importing Custom .shp Files to Local Nominatim Instance

[iamMHZ]

Hi
Is there a way to convert custom shape files (vector layers) to Nominatim data and import them to a Nominatim Instance?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Nominatim works with OpenStreetMap data only. You can convert your custom data into a OSM format and import that into Nominatim. Note though that you'll need a bit of understanding of OSM tagging to get the conversion right. You are largely on your own with this part or can look for professional help with it.

I have converted may data to osm data format but I am getting the Negative OSM object ids are not allowed: node id -284729. Error.
