**ngx_http_geoip2_module** - creates variables with values from the maxmind geoip2 databases based on the client IP (default) or from a specific variable (supports both IPv4 and IPv6)
|
|
|
|
The module now supports nginx streams and can be used in the same way the http module can be used.
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
First install [libmaxminddb](https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb) as described in its [README.md
|
|
file](https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb/blob/master/README.md#installing-from-a-tarball).
|
|
|
|
#### Download nginx source
|
|
```
|
|
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-VERSION.tar.gz
|
|
tar zxvf nginx-VERSION.tar.gz
|
|
cd nginx-VERSION
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### To build as a dynamic module (nginx 1.9.11+):
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --add-dynamic-module=/path/to/ngx_http_geoip2_module
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will produce ```objs/ngx_http_geoip2_module.so```. It can be copied to your nginx module path manually if you wish.
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your nginx.conf:
|
|
```
|
|
load_module modules/ngx_http_geoip2_module.so;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### To build as a static module:
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --add-module=/path/to/ngx_http_geoip2_module
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Download Maxmind GeoLite2 Database (optional)
|
|
The free GeoLite2 databases are available from [Maxminds website](http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/) (requires signing up)
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage:
|
|
```
|
|
http {
|
|
...
|
|
geoip2 /etc/maxmind-country.mmdb {
|
|
auto_reload 5m;
|
|
$geoip2_metadata_country_build metadata build_epoch;
|
|
$geoip2_data_country_code default=US source=$variable_with_ip country iso_code;
|
|
$geoip2_data_country_name country names en;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
geoip2 /etc/maxmind-city.mmdb {
|
|
$geoip2_data_city_name default=London city names en;
|
|
}
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
fastcgi_param COUNTRY_CODE $geoip2_data_country_code;
|
|
fastcgi_param COUNTRY_NAME $geoip2_data_country_name;
|
|
fastcgi_param CITY_NAME $geoip2_data_city_name;
|
|
....
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
stream {
|
|
...
|
|
geoip2 /etc/maxmind-country.mmdb {
|
|
$geoip2_data_country_code default=US source=$remote_addr country iso_code;
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Metadata:
|
|
Retrieve metadata regarding the geoip database.
|
|
```
|
|
$variable_name metadata <field>
|
|
```
|
|
Available fields:
|
|
- build_epoch: the build timestamp of the maxmind database.
|
|
- last_check: the last time the database was checked for changes (when using auto_reload)
|
|
- last_change: the last time the database was reloaded (when using auto_reload)
|
|
|
|
##### Autoreload (default: disabled):
|
|
Enabling auto reload will have nginx check the modification time of the database at the specified
|
|
interval and reload it if it has changed.
|
|
```
|
|
auto_reload <interval>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### GeoIP:
|
|
```
|
|
$variable_name [default=<value] [source=$variable_with_ip] path ...
|
|
```
|
|
If default is not specified, the variable will be empty if not found.
|
|
|
|
If source is not specified, $remote_addr will be used to perform the lookup.
|
|
|
|
To find the path of the data you want (eg: country names en), use the [mmdblookup tool](https://maxmind.github.io/libmaxminddb/mmdblookup.html):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ mmdblookup --file /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP2-Country.mmdb --ip 8.8.8.8
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"country":
|
|
{
|
|
"geoname_id":
|
|
6252001 <uint32>
|
|
"iso_code":
|
|
"US" <utf8_string>
|
|
"names":
|
|
{
|
|
"de":
|
|
"USA" <utf8_string>
|
|
"en":
|
|
"United States" <utf8_string>
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
$ mmdblookup --file /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP2-Country.mmdb --ip 8.8.8.8 country names en
|
|
|
|
"United States" <utf8_string>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This translates to:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$country_name "default=United States" source=$remote_addr country names en
|
|
```
