Name

lua-resty-maxminddb - A Lua library for reading MaxMind's Geolocation database format (aka mmdb or geoip2).

Original multi database support

Prerequisites

Note

• maxmind/libmaxminddb

• openresty

• GeoLite2 Free Downloadable Databases

• maxmind/geoipupdate

New Features

• Multiple Database Support: Initialize and use multiple MaxMind databases simultaneously
• Profile Selection: Choose which database to query using profile names
• Automatic Fallback: Uses first available database if no profile specified

Bug fixed

• Error at lookup IP

• bad argument #1 to 'concat' (table expected, got nil)

• Memory leak

• Multiple subdivisions

API Reference

Functions:

• geo.init(profiles): Initialize databases with profile names and file paths
• geo.lookup(ip, lookup_path, profile): Lookup IP address, optionally specify profile
• geo.initted(): Check if databases are initialized
• geo.get_profiles(): Get list of available profile names
• geo.has_profile(profile): Check if a specific profile exists

Apology for infringement

• #25

Installation

# opm (manual install libmaxminddb and download GeoLite2-City.mmdb)
# openresty/openresty:alpine and apache/apisix:2.13.0-alpine docker image need to install perl libmaxminddb
# e.g. apk --no-cache add perl libmaxminddb && ln -s /usr/lib/libmaxminddb.so.0  /usr/lib/libmaxminddb.so
opm get anjia0532/lua-resty-maxminddb

# luarocks (manual download GeoLite2-City.mmdb)
# openresty/openresty:alpine-fat docker image
luarocks install lua-resty-maxminddb

# openresty/openresty:alpine docker image need to install luarocks (ref https://github.com/openresty/docker-openresty/blob/master/alpine/Dockerfile.fat)

# special apache/apisix:2.xx.0-alpine luarocks install lua-resty-maxminddb UNZIP=/usr/bin/unzip
# e.g. apk --no-cache add perl alpine-sdk && luarocks install lua-resty-maxminddb UNZIP=/usr/bin/unzip

Synopsis

Basic Usage (Single Database)

local geo = require 'resty.maxminddb'
if not geo.initted() then
    geo.init("/path/to/GeoLite2-City.mmdb")
end
local res, err = geo.lookup("8.8.8.8")

Multiple Database Support

local geo = require 'resty.maxminddb'
if not geo.initted() then
    geo.init({
        city = "/path/to/GeoLite2-City.mmdb",
        country = "/path/to/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb",
        asn = "/path/to/GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb"
    })
end

-- Lookup using default profile (first one)
local res, err = geo.lookup("8.8.8.8")

-- Or specify a specific profile
local city_data, err = geo.lookup("8.8.8.8", nil, "city")
local country_data, err = geo.lookup("8.8.8.8", nil, "country")
local asn_data, err = geo.lookup("8.8.8.8", nil, "asn")

            -- Lookup using default profile (first one)
            local res,err = geo.lookup(ngx.var.arg_ip or ngx.var.remote_addr)
