Minimal container for updating Maxmind GeoIP databases on your host system without having to install the required dependencies.
It includes everything you need to customize your installation, whilst remaining much smaller than the other geoipupdate
images on Docker Hub (approximately 6MB).
This image is designed to be executed as a single command, to invoke geoipupdate
from your host.
# download defaults into ./geoip
$ docker run --rm \
-v ./geoip:/usr/local/share/GeoIP \
whitfin/geoipupdate
# download into ./geoip using a custom configuration file
$ docker run --rm \
-e GEOIP_CONFIG_FILE=/usr/local/share/GeoIP/config.conf \
-v ./geoip:/usr/local/share/GeoIP \
whitfin/geoipupdate
# download into ./geoip using manually configured settings
$ docker run --rm \
-e GEOIP_USER_ID=999999 \
