Repo for easy creating geoip API based on AWS lambda and Maxmind's GeoLite2 database.

Inspired by tmaiaroto/go-lambda-geoip.

Prerequisites

• An AWS account (and configured credentials for CLI)
• golang
• Maxmind's GeoLite2 City/Country database.
• Serverless Framework
• go-bindata

Useful links

• AWS FreeTier usage stats

Instructions

Deploy with Docker

Build image

docker build . -t izikaj/geoip --build-arg MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY=$MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY

Deploy it to AWS

docker run -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="XXXXXXXXX" -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="YYYYYYYYYYYYY" -it izikaj/geoip

To run shell on image:

docker run -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="XXXXXXXXX" -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="YYYYYYYYYYYYY" -it izikaj/geoip sh

go language

Download binary

Install Guide

go-bindata

go install github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/go-bindata

if all set

Assuming you have AWS credentials configured and you've got the serverless and go-bindata ready to use.

You can run the following to retrieve the geoip data set, build, and deploy:

Download fresh Maxmind's database:

make download

To receive access to download the GeoLite2 databases, it now requires registration and license key usage.

Deploy stack:

make deploy

It should build and deploy the Lambda. It may take a little bit due to the size of the database file.

Features:

• build & deploy via docker
• geocoder function should work with geocoder-izi-lookup propely

TODO:

• write tests
• return errors more detailed errors
• refactor code
