I am using a docker project in a rather strong server(120GB RAM and plenty of disc space).
When trying to run an import on postgres server I get the following error
Using projection SRS 4326 (Latlong)

Osm2pgsql failed due to ERROR: PBF error: invalid BlobHeader size (> max_blob_header_size)
ERROR: Error executing external command: /app/src/osm2pgsql/osm2pgsql -lsc -O gazetteer --hstore --number-processes 1 -C 1207 -P 5432 -d nominatim /app/src/data.osm.pbf
How could I increase the max_blob_header_size?
I stumbled upon the same issue while feeding an S3 hosted PBF file into a Nominatim docker container.
Unfortunately I failed to configure the access to the PBF file properly so the docker container saved the XML error response as /app/src/data.osm.pbf. That's why the file header check fails.
