maxmind updater

updates legacy Maxmind geoip databases

⚠️ Note: To use this action, you must have access to the GitHub Actions feature. GitHub Actions are currently only available in public beta. You can apply for the GitHub Actions beta here.

usage

$ docker build -t meetup/maxmind-updater .

This image is expected with code mounted to a workdir, as Github Actions does, with two environment varibles: DATA_DIR the directory to locate GeoIPCity.dat, and CONF_DIR to location GeoIp.conf. These both default to data and conf respectively.

$ docker run --rm \
	-v $(pwd):/code \
	-w /code \
	-e DATA_DIR:path/to/data \
	-e CONF_DIR:path/to/conf \
	meetup/maxmind-updater
👍 GeoIP Database up to date, no action needed.
