Hello Unraid-community,

I try to set up a "Nginx Logs and GEO map dashboard" by gilbN using docker container lastest version of NGINX and geoip2influx on my unraid.

(https://github.com/gilbN/geoip2influx)

 

I add the following information in "nginx.conf":

http {
    geoip2 /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb {
    auto_reload 5m;
    $geoip2_data_country_iso_code country iso_code;
    $geoip2_data_city_name city names en;
    }

    log_format custom '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]'
           '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent'
           '"$http_referer" $host "$http_user_agent"'
           '"$request_time" "$upstream_connect_time"'
           '"$geoip2_data_city_name" "$geoip2_data_country_iso_code"';

...

 

and when I start the NGINX container I get the following:

nginx: [emerg] MMDB_open("/config/geoip2db/GeoLite2-City.mmdb") failed - Error opening the specified MaxMind DB file in /config/nginx/nginx.conf:31

 

Unfortunately I cannot find any discussions about it.

May someone can support me how to solve the issue.

I got it to work using the 'geoip2influx' template on CA. Additional dockers installed were Grafana and InfluxDB 1.8, also though the CA template. Adjusted the IP/Port to match the other containers. I did not modify the nginx.conf. I just pointed it at the existing access log (in my appdata/swag/logs/nginx, since I am using SWAG).

The download script failed due to permissions issues, but this was not logged. It only logged when it could not open the .mmdb. I got this error, which I fixed by going to Unraid > Tools > New Permissions to update the permissions.

Result: The geo map works, which is all I needed. The nginx logs and a few other items were broken, but IP and Geolocation came through.

Hope that helps.
