I am trying to install geoip module for nginx though dockerfile by adding to my dockerfile the following:
RUN apk add --no-cache libmaxminddb nginx-mod-http-geoip
RUN cd /var/lib; \
mkdir -p nginx; \
wget -q -O- https://dl.miyuru.lk/geoip/maxmind/country/maxmind.dat.gz | gunzip -c > nginx/maxmind-country.dat; \
wget -q -O- https://dl.miyuru.lk/geoip/maxmind/city/maxmind.dat.gz | gunzip -c > nginx/maxmind-city.dat; \
chown -R nginx. nginx
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
The nginx.config is the following:
load_module "modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so";
user nginx;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events{worker_connections 1024;
}

index index.html;
location / {

}
location /api/ {
resolver 127.0.0.11; #nginx will not crash if host is not found
# The following statement will proxy traffic to the upstream
proxy_pass http://backend;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
}
However, when I am inspecting the logs I am getting
geoip_country_name = "-"
Any idea of what is going wrong here? Could it be that I am running this locally?
