Im using nginx as load balancer in a dockerized setup. Im trying to get the http_geoip_module up and running so I can redirect traffic based on users geographical position.

Question:

The command nginx -V outputs --with-http_geoip_module=dynamic. Does this mean that the geoip_module is installed? Its the =dynamic that confuses me, this detail does not appear in the tutorials im following.

Where did you get your nginx from? – Alexey Ten Jun 15 '16 at 08:41
I guess you have to install `nginx-module-geoip` package. http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#dynmodules – Alexey Ten Jun 15 '16 at 08:43
Official nginx image on docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx/ – Vingtoft Jun 15 '16 at 08:45
If I understand it correctly it's installed. https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx/blob/master/mainline/jessie/Dockerfile You have to load this module with `load_module` directive. – Alexey Ten Jun 15 '16 at 08:48
