To use npmGrafStats the GeoLite2-City.mmdb is a requirement! A complete installation example is available with the docker-compose.yml file.

You can download it manually for free from your maxmind.com account or you can use their auto-updater docker-image. If you want to see the ASN of each IP add the ASN database but this is optional.

The GeoLite2-City.mmdb GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb must be in ./geolite directory.

GeoLite2-City.mmdb Auto update

Use this Docker Compose file to automatically update the GeoLite2-City.mmdb and optionaly the GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb

Set your ID and Key from your maxmind.com account.

This example assumes that your npmGrafStats container also uses the /home/docker directory
