### MaxMind Geolite2

Default download location is `/config/geoip2db/GeoLite2-City.mmdb`

Get your licence key here: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup

### InfluxDB 

#### InfluxDB v2.x is not supported. Use v1.8x. 

The InfluxDB database will be created automatically with the name you choose.

```
-e INFLUX_DATABASE=geoip2influx 
```

### Docker

```bash
docker create \
  --name=geoip2influx \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/Oslo \
  -e INFLUX_HOST=<influxdb host> \
  -e INFLUX_HOST_PORT=<influxdb port> \
  -e MAXMINDDB_LICENSE_KEY=<license key>\
  -v /path/to/appdata/geoip2influx:/config \
  -v /path/to/nginx/accesslog/:/config/log/nginx/ \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/gilbn/geoip2influx
```

### Docker compose

```yaml
version: "2.1"
services:
  geoip2influx:
    image: ghcr.io/gilbn/geoip2influx
    container_name: geoip2influx
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Oslo
      - INFLUX_HOST=<influxdb host>
      - INFLUX_HOST_PORT=<influxdb port>
      - MAXMINDDB_LICENSE_KEY=<license key>
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/geoip2influx:/config
      - /path/to/nginx/accesslog/:/config/log/nginx/
    restart: unless-stopped
```

## Sending Nginx log metrics

Nginx needs to be compiled with the geoip2 module: https://github.com/leev/ngx_http_geoip2_module

1. Add the following to the http block in your `nginx.conf` file:

```nginx
geoip2 /config/geoip2db/GeoLite2-City.mmdb {
auto_reload 5m;
$geoip2_data_country_iso_code country iso_code;
$geoip2_data_city_name city names en;
}

log_format custom '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]'
           '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent'
           '"$http_referer" $host "$http_user_agent"'
           '"$request_time" "$upstream_connect_time"'
           '"$geoip2_data_city_name" "$geoip2_data_country_iso_code"';
 ```
 
 2. Set the access log use the `custom` log format. 
 ```nginx
 access_log /config/log/nginx/access.log custom;
 ```

### Multiple log files

If you separate your nginx log files but want this script to parse all of them you can do the following:

As nginx can have multiple `access log` directives in a block, just add another one in the server block. 

**Example**

```nginx
	access_log /config/log/nginx/technicalramblings/access.log custom;
	access_log /config/log/nginx/access.log custom;
```
This will log the same lines to both files.

Then use the `/config/log/nginx/access.log` file in the `NGINX_LOG_PATH` variable. 

***

## Updates 

**21.06.20** - Added $host(domain) to the nginx log metrics. This will break your nginx logs parsing, as you need to update the custom log format.

**06.06.20** - Added influx retention policy to try and mitigate max-values-per-tag limit exceeded errors.

  * `-e INFLUX_RETENTION` Default 30d
  * `-e INFLUX_SHARD` Default 2d
  * It will only add the retention policy if the database doesn't exist.

**30.05.20** - Added logging. Use `-e GEOIP2INFLUX_LOG_LEVEL` to set the log level.

**15.05.20** - Removed `GEOIP2_KEY` and `GEOIP_DB_PATH`variables. With commit https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-letsencrypt/commit/75b9685fdb3ec6edda590300f289b0e75dd9efd0 the letsencrypt container now natively supports downloading and updating(weekly) the GeoLite2-City database!
