cannot unmarshal DNS Message

[hookenz]

I'm getting this error when using your docker container.

[freegeoip] 2016/02/16 21:21:33 database error: download failed (will retry in 2s): Get http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz: dial tcp: lookup geolite.maxmind.com on 192.168.0.1:53: cannot unmarshal DNS message

Could be related to this. Maybe mindmax has made some DNS changes.

I get a different error using the :latest docker image:

[freegeoip] 2016/02/17 03:56:32 database error: download failed (will retry in 2s): Get http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.mmdb.gz: dial tcp: lookup geolite.maxmind.com on 10.0.1.1:53: read udp 172.17.0.2:44585->10.0.1.1:53: i/o timeout

Also related to DNS. Mmmm.

Never mind, my issue above was related to a misconfigured DNS in boot2docker. The :latest image does work for me:

$ docker run --rm -it fiorix/freegeoip
[freegeoip] 2016/02/17 04:01:16 freegeoip http server starting on :8080
[freegeoip] 2016/02/17 04:01:50 database loaded: /tmp/freegeoip/db.gz

This might be something on your end.

Could have been. I've literally just changed service providers from yesterday so I'm using different DNS servers. The error has gone away. Odd.
