#195248 — how to keep geoip database uptodate

How do I keep geoip database up to date on Debian stable? Currently, I
am not able to get information on some IP addresses. For example,

 % geoiplookup 45.229.2.42
GeoIP Country Edition: IP Address not found

I tried geoipupdate, but it is looking for a license.

 % geoipupdate -v
geoipupdate 2.3.1
Can't open license file /etc/GeoIP.conf
 % ls -al /etc/GeoIP.conf
ls: cannot access '/etc/GeoIP.conf': No such file or directory

% dpkg -l \*geoip\* | grep ^ii
ii  geoip-bin       1.6.9-4      amd64        IP lookup command line
tools that use the GeoIP library
ii  geoip-database  20170512-1   all          IP lookup command line
tools that use the GeoIP library (country database)
ii  geoipupdate     2.3.1-1      amd64        MaxMind GeoIP/GeoIP2
database updates
ii  libgeoip1:amd64 1.6.9-4      amd64        non-DNS IP-to-country
resolver library

% cat /etc/debian_version
9.4


thanks
raju

Hello,

you could download the latest file manually.
>From here:
http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
- backup your old GeoIP.dat
- move the new version into /usr/share/GeoIP.dat


-H

Thanks. It worked.

 % wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
...
Saving to: ‘GeoIP.dat.gz’
...
2018-05-02 07:15:54 (11.1 MB/s) - ‘GeoIP.dat.gz’ saved [711428/711428]

 % gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
 % geoiplookup -f ./GeoIP.dat 45.229.2.42
GeoIP Country Edition: BR, Brazil

So, all I need is a cron job that regularly updates this file.
