GeoIP

Hi,

I want to divert incoming requests based on GeoIP to the appropriate version of my site. AFAICT, openresty does not have the nginx GeoIP module installed. While I could perform the geoip lookups via Lua, would that result in increased latency when compared to using the ngx_http_geoip_module instead?

thanks,

Gordon,

Openresty is still the Nginx core. You need to compile with geoip support in the same way you would with vanilla Nginx.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_geoip_module.html

Once you've compiled support into nginx (and installed libgeoip deps), you just configure a geo database as described in the above link.

The Chef cookbook doesn't support GeoIP module installation, any links on how to do that with chef

You should just add "http_geoip_module" to your node['openresty']['extra_modules'] and the recipe will compile nginx with the GeoIP module.
