# GeoLite2 City Database

The visitor stats dashboard uses MaxMind GeoLite2 for IP geolocation.

## Setup

1. Create a free account at [MaxMind GeoLite2](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data)
2. Download the **GeoLite2 Country** database (`.mmdb` format, not CSV) and **RENAME** it:
3. Place the downloaded file here as `GeoLite2-City.mmdb`

The Docker build copies it into the container at `/app/geo/GeoLite2-City.mmdb`.

## Without the database

The backend starts but geo lookups are disabled. The dashboard shows visitor counts without country/region breakdown.
