libmaxminddb (1.7.1-r2)

Downloading GeoIP2 City database.

tar: short read

[aptalca]

the crontab script should be changed according the documentation of maxmind ...

What made you come to that conclusion?

I just tested it locally and the script works just fine. Make sure you entered the license correctly and that your container does not have networking issues

[aptalca]

try to run the script /etc/periodic/weekly/libmaxminddb check what you get?

I told you I just did, and it worked with no issues. Being able to ping google says nothing about whether it can resolve or reach the maxmind server, or whether it's inputting a valid license key into the url

Hello

I have the same problem:

Applying the maxmind mod... Downloading GeoIP2 City database. tar: short read Applied the maxmind mod [custom-init] No custom files found, skipping... [ls.io-init] done. nginx: [emerg] MMDB_open("/config/geoip2db/GeoLite2-City.mmdb") failed - Error opening the specified MaxMind DB file in /config/nginx/maxmind.conf:1

[aptalca]

Check the output of docker exec swag cat /etc/libmaxminddb.cron.conf and make sure the values look correct. Here's what mine looks like:

# Database files to download
# MAXMINDDB_FILES="GeoLite2-City.mmdb"

# Database download directory
# MAXMINDDB_URL="https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download"

# Local target directory
# MAXMINDDB_LIBDIR="/var/lib/libmaxminddb"

# MaxMind license key, can be retrieved through https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup
MAXMINDDB_LICENSE_KEY="4UseREDACTEDzAFTL"

Something's not adding up here. The whole db download script is managed by the alpine package, source here: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/3.19-stable/main/libmaxminddb/libmaxminddb.cron?ref_type=heads

It's supposed to download the GeoLite2-City database. But your curl output is referencing the GeoLite2-Country so I'm not sure what you're posting or where those entries are coming from.

Please post a full compose yaml for your SWAG (or docker run) along with a full container log so we can see what's going on.

And make sure you're not including the characters < and > in your license key value.

[aptalca]

If the characters < and > are in that file, that means you incorrectly set the env var and that's your issue. The var needs to be set to just the api key, nothing else

[aptalca]

You're comparing apples and oranges. Do the things I asked above.

[Or-azur]

everything is good with container_name: geoipupdate

[aptalca]

We're having failure to communicate and this issue has gone off the rails.

Closing.

If you're still having issues with the maxmind mod, you can open a new issue but make sure to include a full compose yaml or docker run for SWAG, along with a full container log.

@aptalca i got the same issue. I think might be related to redirects

curl "https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-City&license_key={MY_KEY}&suffix=tar.gz" -o "./GeoLite2-City.mmdb.tar.gz" gives me empty tar ---> tar: short read

curl -L "https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-City&license_key={MY_KEY}&suffix=tar.gz" -o "./GeoLite2-City.mmdb.tar.gz" works

libmaxminddb-1.7.1-r0 -- i had issue in libmaxminddb-1.9.1-r0 -- in this version -L flag is in the script

i fixed with

sed -i 's/curl --silent/curl --silent -L/g' /etc/periodic/weekly/libmaxminddb && \
