## About

A Varnish master VMOD to query MaxMind GeoIP2 DB files.

For Varnish 6.0, 7.4 and 7.5 refer to main branch.  Older Varnish

versions are no longer supported.

## Requirements

To build this VMOD you will need:

* make

* a C compiler, e.g. GCC or clang

* pkg-config

* python3-docutils or docutils in macOS [1]

* Varnish master built from sources

* libmaxminddb-dev in recent Debian/Ubuntu releases, maxminddb in

  macOS [1]. See also https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb

If you are building from Git, you will also need:

* autoconf

* automake

* libtool

You will also need to set `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` to the directory where

**varnishapi.pc** is located before running `autogen.sh` and

`configure`.  For example:

```

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

```

Finally, to use it you will need one or more GeoIP2 or GeoLite2

binary databases.  See https://dev.maxmind.com/.

## Installation

### From a tarball

To install this VMOD, run the following commands:

```

./configure

make

make check

sudo make install

```

The `make check` step is optional but it's good to know whether the

tests are passing on your platform.

### From the Git repository

To install from Git, clone this repository by running:

```

git clone --recursive https://github.com/varnishcache-friends/libvmod-geoip2

```

And then run `./autogen.sh` followed by the instructions above for

installing from a tarball.

### Packages

See https://github.com/varnishcache-friends/libvmod-geoip2/wiki#packages.

## Example

```

import geoip2;

sub vcl_init {

	new country = geoip2.geoip2("/path/to/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb");

}

sub vcl_recv {

	if (country.lookup("country/names/en", client.ip) != "Japan") {

		...

	}

}

```
