NAME

       GeoIP.conf - Configuration file for geoipupdate

SYNOPSIS

       This  file  allows you to configure your geoipupdate program to download GeoIP2, GeoLite2,
       and GeoIP Legacy databases.

DESCRIPTION

       The file consists of one setting per line.  Lines starting with # are  comments  and  will
       not be processed.  All setting keywords are case sensitive.

   Required settings:
       EditionIDs
              List  of  database  edition  IDs.   Edition IDs may consist of letters, digits, and
              dashes (e.g., “GeoIP2-City”, “106”).  Note: this was formerly called ProductIds.

   Optional settings:
       AccountID
              Your MaxMind account ID.  This was formerly known as UserId.

       DatabaseDirectory
              The  directory  to  store  the  database  files.   If  not  set,  the  default   is
              /var/lib/GeoIP.   This  can  be  overridden  at  run  time  by  the -d command line
              argument.

       Host   The host name of the server to use.  The default is updates.maxmind.com.

       Proxy  The proxy host name or IP address.  You may optionally specify a port number, e.g.,
              127.0.0.1:8888.  If no port number is specified, 1080 will be used.

       ProxyUserPassword
              The   proxy   user  name  and  password,  separated  by  a  colon.   For  instance,
              username:password.

       PreserveFileTimes
              Whether to preserve modification times of files downloaded from the  server.   This
              option is either 0 or 1.  The default is 0.

       LicenseKey
              Your case-sensitive MaxMind license key.

       LockFile
              The lock file to use.  This ensures only one geoipupdate process can run at a time.
              Note: Once created, this lockfile is not removed from the filesystem.  The  default
              is .geoipupdate.lock under the DatabaseDirectory.
