Update GeoLite2 database with http request #1959

Closed mvandenabeele closed 10 months ago

mvandenabeele commented 10 months ago

Summary

I'd like to update the GeoLite2 database using a HTTP request instead of with bin/cli

Use case

The shared webhosting company that I use to host has corn functionality builtin to there dashboard, but you can only do a get-request to an URL in the package. CLI is not available.

Manually updating the GeoLite db is only needed if you serve Shlink with a classic web server, which is not the recommended runtime.

On top of that, shared hostings are not the primary focus for Shlink.

This feature would be complex to get right (access control, limiting requests, etc), so I'm afraid I have to say no to this.
