What is this folder about?

This folder is only meant for storing GeoIP Legacy Databases which are used by the geoip script.

All .dat files in this folder are from https://www.miyuru.lk/geoiplegacy and converted by Miyuru Sankalpa.

How to add updated Database files in here?

  1. Check if the files were updated by Miyuru Sankalpa by visiting twitter or verfiying the Last Updated tag on his website
  2. If the files were updated, download the newest Maxmind Country IPv4 and Maxmind Country IPv6 files
  3. Extract them
  4. Create a PR with those updated database files, add them to this folder and follow this naming scheme:

Naming scheme:

for IPv4:
yyyy-mm-Maxmind-Country-IPv4.dat
for IPv6:
yyyy-mm-Maxmind-Country-IPv6.dat
(Year and month should be chosen based on when the files were updated by Sankalpa)

One example is:
2020-09-Maxmind-Country-IPv4.dat
and
2020-09-Maxmind-Country-IPv6.dat
(If the files were updated on September 2020 by Sankalpa)
