A microservice for MaxMinds GeoIP2 databasese
IMPORTANT: This currently only works with GeoIP2 Lite databases, as I don't have access to the paid ones.
To build this project, you need my custom Docker build extension dockpipe, which you can get here here. Then you can just type
$ dockpipe geoip-server:dev .
to get an image built.
Before you can launch this server, you need to set up lorenz/geoip-updater. Have a look at the readme of that project for setup instructions on the updater. Once you have an instance of that service running, you can start up one or more instances of this.

Shared volume with geoip-updater for storing GeoIP-Databases. Should be on SSD or high-IOPS volume. |

|---|---|---|
| 4000 | HTTP | HTTP Server for GeoIP requests |
Queries are basically just HTTP requests to http://container_ip:4000/8.8.8.8 for an IP of 8.8.8.8. The answers are JSON-encoded and follow the same format as the original GeoIP entries.
Examples:
$ curl http://172.17.0.23:4000/8.8.8.8
