How to make a docker container out of this?

[Waldorf3]

Hi,
This is really cool, exactly what I need, but I can't find any built docker container for it, and I haven't got a clue how to build one. I'm not a developer.

I followed instructions at https://stackify.com/docker-build-a-beginners-guide-to-building-docker-images which suggested this

Building Docker images
With Dockerfile written, you can build the image using the following command:

$ docker build .
We can see the image we just built using the command docker images.

$ docker images
If you run the command above, you will see something similar to the output below.

REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
7b341adb0bf1 2 minutes ago 83.2MB

But that wasn't quite what I got:

sudo docker build .

Any chance you could offer some guidance here? Most appreciated!

Hi, Thank you for using this project.

I not sure why you can't build the docker image locally, but you can use the official docker image from dockerhub (linux/amd64) as explained here

Regards.

[Waldorf3]

Very cool, cheers.

I kinda saw the image on docker hub, but without explanation. So looking at

docker run --tty --interactive --rm \
    -v $PWD/<path to city database>:/tmp/GeoIP2-City-Test.mmdb:ro \
    -v $PWD/<path to ASN database>:/tmp/GeoLite2-ASN-Test.mmdb:ro -p 8080:8080 \
    dcarrillo/whatismyip:latest \
      -geoip2-city /tmp/GeoIP2-City-Test.mmdb \
      -geoip2-asn /tmp/GeoLite2-ASN-Test.mmdb

1. Where can I find the databases?
2. I don't really understand the last two lines, are they environment variables or something?

[dcarrillo]

The databases, as explained in the documentation, can be downloaded from MaxMind. For testing purposes, you can use the ones located in the test directory (these databases contain a minimal set of data).

The last two lines set the minimal parameters you need to pass for the service to work, which are the database paths.

[juanrodgil]

Could be cool to add the posibility to configure the geoip locations and the template with enviroments variables, so it could be used with docker-compose.

Something like this

version: '3.5'

services:

  geoipupdate:
    container_name: geoipupdate
    image: ghcr.io/maxmind/geoipupdate
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - GEOIPUPDATE_ACCOUNT_ID=######
      - GEOIPUPDATE_LICENSE_KEY=###################
      - 'GEOIPUPDATE_EDITION_IDS=GeoLite2-ASN GeoLite2-City GeoLite2-Country'
      - GEOIPUPDATE_FREQUENCY=72
    volumes:
      - ${CONFIG_PATH}/geoipupdate:/usr/share/GeoIP
    networks:
      - default

  whatismyip:
    container_name: whatismyip
    image: dcarrillo/whatismyip
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - geoip2-city=/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
      - geoip2-asn=/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb
    ports:
      - 84:8080
    volumes:
      - ${CONFIG_PATH}/geoipupdate:/usr/share/GeoIP:ro
    networks:
      - default

networks:
  default:
    driver: bridge

Hi, this is a closed issue, if you have any other question please open a new one.

Regarding your suggestion, indeed, having ENVARS could be a good idea, in the meantime, you can always add a command configuration to your docker compose file.
