+# GoIpLookup - geoiplookup for GeoLite2-Country written in Go
+
+GoIpLookup is a geoiplookup replacement for the [free GeoLite2-Country](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/),
+written in [Go](https://golang.org/).
+
+It currently only supports the free GeoLite2-Country database, and there is no planned support for the other types.
+
+
+## Features
+
+- Drop-in replacement for the now defunt geoiplookup utility
+- Works with the current Maxmind database format (mmdd)
+- IPv4, IPv6 and fully qualified domain name (FQDN) support
+- Built-in database update support
+- Options to return just the country iso (`NZ`) or country name (`New Zealand`), rather than the full `GeoIP Country Edition: NZ, New Zealand`
+
+
+## Installing
+
+Linux amd64 binaries are supplied with releases.
+
+```
+bunzip goiplookup_linux_amd64.bz2
+chmod 755 goiplookup_linux_amd64
+sudo mv goiplookup_linux_amd64 /usr/local/bin/goiplookup
+```
+
+If you with to replace an existing defunct implementation of geoiplookup, then simply name the file `geoiplookup`.
+
+
+## Compiling from source
+
+You must have golang installed. There is one external library required ([oschwald/geoip2-golang](github.com/oschwald/geoip2-golang)) which is downloaded automatically when you run `make`:
+
+```
+git clone git@github.com:axllent/goiplookup.git
+cd goiplookup
+make
+```
+
+## Basic usage
+```
+Usage: goiplookup [-i] [-c] [-d <database directory>] <ipaddress|hostname|db-update>
+
+Options:
+  -V	show version number
+  -c	return country name
+  -d string
+    	database directory or file (default "/usr/share/GeoIP")
+  -h	show help
+  -i	return country iso code
+  -v	verbose/debug output
+
+Examples:
+./goiplookup 8.8.8.8			Return the country ISO code and name
+./goiplookup -d ~/GeoIP 8.8.8.8		Use a different database directory
+./goiplookup -i 8.8.8.8			Return just the country ISO code
+./goiplookup -c 8.8.8.8			Return just the country name
+./goiplookup db-update			Update the GeoLite2-Country database (do not run more than once a month)
+```
