Description Ryn Edge 2025-11-01 01:09:14 UTC
Type: RFE / Package request

Please build and ship `nginx-mod-http-geoip2` for EPEL10 (EL10 / AlmaLinux 10).

Rationale
- EL10 currently lacks a free GeoIP2 dynamic module for nginx.
- Users have to compile the module manually which is hard to maintain and audit.
- The module is available upstream and widely used; having it in EPEL would improve consistency and support.

Request
- Provide a subpackage `nginx-mod-http-geoip2` that installs
  `/usr/lib64/nginx/modules/ngx_http_geoip2_module.so`.
- Build from upstream source `leev/ngx_http_geoip2_module` with `--with-compat`.
- Runtime dependency: `libmaxminddb` (GeoLite2 DB via geoipupdate is optional).

Environment
- Distro: AlmaLinux 10 (x86_64)
- nginx version and build flags:
  (please see below)

nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.26.3

How it is used after installation
- Load module:  `load_module modules/ngx_http_geoip2_module.so;`
- Configure `geoip2` in `http {}` to point to GeoLite2 `.mmdb`.
- `nginx -t` should succeed and variables like `$geoip2_country_code` should be available.

Upstream references
- Module: https://github.com/leev/ngx_http_geoip2_module
- Library: https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb

Notes
- If this should live under a different component, please reassign to `nginx`.
- Happy to test any candidate builds for EPEL10 and provide feedback.Description of problem:
