GeoIP.conf - Configuration file for geoipupdate
This file allows you to configure your geoipupdate
program to
download GeoIP2 and GeoLite2 databases.
The file consists of one setting per line. Lines starting with #
are comments and will not be processed. All setting keywords are case
sensitive.
AccountID
: Your MaxMind account ID. This was formerly known as UserId
.
LicenseKey
: Your case-sensitive MaxMind license key.
EditionIDs
: List of space-separated database edition IDs. Edition IDs may consist
of letters, digits, and dashes. For example, GeoIP2-City
would
download the GeoIP2 City database (GeoIP2-City
). Note: this was
formerly called ProductIds
.
DatabaseDirectory
: The directory to store the database files. If not set, the default is
DATADIR. This can be overridden at run time by the -d
command line
argument.
Host
: The host name of the server to use. The default is updates.maxmind.com
.
Proxy
: The proxy host name or IP address. You may optionally specify
a port number, e.g., 127.0.0.1:8888
. If no port number is specified,
1080 will be used.
ProxyUserPassword
: The proxy user name and password, separated by a colon. For instance,
username:password
.
PreserveFileTimes
: Whether to preserve modification times of files downloaded from the
server. This option is either 0
or 1
. The default is 0
.
LockFile
: The lock file to use. This ensures only one geoipupdate
process can run
at a time. Note: Once created, this lockfile is not removed from the
filesystem. The default is .geoipupdate.lock
under the
DatabaseDirectory
.
RetryFor
: The amount of time to retry for when errors during HTTP transactions are
encountered. It can be specified as a (possibly fractional) decimal number
followed by a unit suffix. Valid time units are ns
, us
(or µs
), ms
,
s
, m
, h
. The default is 5m
(5 minutes).
Parallelism
: The maximum number of parallel database downloads. The default is
1, which means that databases will be downloaded sequentially. This can be
overriden at runtime by the --parallelism
command line argument.
