Onpremise: GEOIP_PATH_MMDB support

[ptman]

How should one configure GEOIP_PATH_MMDB for the docker image?

[BYK]

We were planning to add support for this in the on-premise repo but the very recent account/license requirements may make it harder than we want it to.

Still, https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoipupdate/#Direct_Downloads may help you get started. What you need to do is download this file, put/copy it into a volume and then mount that volume to Sentry containers.

[ptman]

Sure, but can I point to that file with an environment variable?

[BYK]

As long as the file is in a volume that is mounted to the containers, you can set GEOIP_PATH_MMDB either through the .env file or in docker-compose.yaml or by creating a docker-compose.overrides.yaml and doing it there.

Ah scratch what I said above, sorry. You'd need to set it in your sentry.conf.py file. You can make it come from an environment variable in there too.

[ptman]

Right, so would you consider adding that as a default so that one doesn't need to customize it?

[BYK]

Yes, it can be a part of the automation work we intend to do around this. It won't happen very soon though. If you are interested, I can assist you creating a pull request and getting it merged rather than waiting for us.

@BYK I just tried to create a volume and add it to the installation, but I'm getting this:

cron_1                    | 17:07:31 [WARNING] sentry.utils.geo: Error opening GeoIP database: /geoip/GeoLite2-City.mmdb

I'm attaching the volume with - 'sentry-geoip:/geoip' in the config and added GEOIP_PATH_MMDB = '/geoip/GeoLite2-City.mmdb' to my sentry.conf.py

Am I doing something wrong? The permissions seems fine:

root@2a1d0fb1749c:/geoip# ls -lah
total 64M
drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Jan 26 17:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.0K Jan 26 17:07 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  60M Jan 26 17:00 GeoLite2-City.mmdb

You just need to add this to x-sentry-defaults volumes section in docker-compose.yml:
- '/path/to/geoip/on/host:/path/to/geoip/in/sentry/conf'
