Hi! Easy way to fix it - just replace download link in config.

Follow this instruction:

1. Sign up account for GeoIp2 on page:
   https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup
2. Login and generate licence key on page:
   https://www.maxmind.com/en/accounts/current/license-key
   Save your licence key.
3. Open download page:
   https://www.maxmind.com/en/download_files
   Find your needed DB edition ID and copy value from first column
   
4. Open your config file with gpslab_geoip params and replace url param by next:
   https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id={edition_id}&license_key={license_key}&suffix=tar.gz

• edition_id - character ID name from first column on download page
• license_key - your saved licence key

[peter-gribanov]

@Zizitto yes. The geoip2:update command is still works.
Need only change the URL in configuration like that:

gpslab_geoip:
    url: 'https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id={edition_id}&license_key={license_key}&suffix=tar.gz'

[peter-gribanov]

In new release 2.0.0 you can simplify configure the download URL by configure only the license kay and edition id.

gpslab_geoip:
    # Your personal licence key
    license: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'

    # Database edition ID
    edition: 'GeoLite2-City'

Thanks for your report.

Yes, updating via bundle will stop working. To update the GeoIP database, you will have to use the geoipupdate utility.

I will be engaged in renewal of updating database through bundle.

@neverfan you must also specify the suffix &suffix=tar.gz in the link, otherwise you will get error:

Invalid suffix

But anyway, thank you very much for this guide.

[neverfan]

@peter-gribanov oh, yes, forgot that, I fixed guide.

we still can use geoip2:update command all you need is add valid URL as first argument, NO?

hello ! isn't the compressor unable to extract tar.gz files? For what I've been experiencing the bundle is only extracting the gz leaving us with a tar file in the cache directory

file var/cache/dev/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
var/cache/dev/GeoLite2-City.mmdb: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

one you actually extract everthing you end up with a directory rather than just the mmdb file which means we would also need to move the mmdb file out of the directory

the directory contents is the following:

ls GeoLite2-City_20200114/
README.txt  
LICENSE.txt  
GeoLite2-City.mmdb  
COPYRIGHT.txt

[peter-gribanov]

@ssammut Yes. Really. MaxMind changed the structure of the archive. I will fix it.

[peter-gribanov]

@ssammut can you check now for the master branch?

[ssammut]

@peter-gribanov that was quick! thanks! tested master and works as expected. mmdb is located in var/cache/env.

thanks again
