geoip

I want create a task on my Capistrano deploy to put my public IP on geo module configuration of my NGINX server without restart NGINX, is it possible? Example, my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

geo $geo {
  default no;
  include /home/deploy_user/appname/shared/ip_list;
}

The file /home/deploy_user/appname/shared/ip_list I will provide during deploy. I need this because my public IP can change many times.

Regards, João

GeoIP and Nginx

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I have a nginx with geoip, but it is not working rightly. The issue is the next: Nginx are getting geodata from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead of $_SERVER['HTTP_X_HAPROXY_IP'], which have the real client ip. So, the reported geodata belongs to my server ip instead of client ip. Does anybody where… >>> More
