Geolocation

This is a simple geolocation service.

It provides the remote ip (via X-Forwarded-For header, if present), country code, city, and geographical coordinates. Information is provided in plain text format, under /, and in json, under /json.

Prerequisites

You can use geoipupdate to download MaxMind's City database:

sudo apt install geoipupdate
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/geoipupdate/examples/GeoIP.conf.default /etc/GeoIP.conf
sudo geoipupdate -v

(note: this service now requires a license key)
