How to make a docker container out of this? about whatismyip

[dcarrillo]

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.

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.

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.
