Deployment

If you prefer not to use the hosted service, run a private instance with Docker.

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 hakanensari/country -e LICENSE_KEY=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY

Replace the YOUR_LICENSE_KEY placeholder with a license key associated with your MaxMind account.

Notes

Country uses GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind. Since 30 December 2019, you need to register for a license key to download their data.

The hosted service does not log requests.
