A demonstration how to use ClickHouse with MaxMind GeoIP2 databases for geolocaiton

Primary LanguageDockerfileMIT LicenseMIT

Example of ClickHouse integration with MaxMind GeoLite2 database for geolocation.

This project contains:

  • Dictionary definitions for integrating GeoLite2 or GeoIp2 dictionaries into ClickHouse database.
  • Table definitions based on these dictionaries.
  • Query examples of how you can use them with example results.
  • Dockerfile / docker-compose.yml files for starting ClickHouse with the GeoLite2 dictionaries inside for fast experimenting.
  • A workaround to load GeoLite2-City-Locations-en.csv which ClickHouse considers corrupted because of apostrophe symbols.

More on GeoLite2/GeoIp2 dictionaries structure and content can be found here:

For successfull build docker image create personal account on https://maxmind.com and use the following command

GEOIP_LICENSE_KEY=your_maxmind_key docker-compose build clickhouse

After loading dictionaries they have such statistics:

Note on IPv6

  • Use dictionaries postfixed with ..._ipv6 instead of ..._ipv4
  • Use IPv6StringToNum() instead of IPv4StringToNum()

An example:

SELECT
    ip,
    dictGetString('geoip_asn_blocks_ipv6', 'autonomous_system_organization', tuple(toFixedString(ifNull(IPv6StringToNum(ip), ''), 16))) AS autonomous_system_organization,
    dictGetFloat32('geoip_city_blocks_ipv6', 'latitude', tuple(toFixedString(ifNull(IPv6StringToNum(ip), ''), 16))) AS latitude,
    dictGetFloat32('geoip_city_blocks_ipv6', 'longitude', tuple(toFixedString(ifNull(IPv6StringToNum(ip), ''), 16))) AS longitude
FROM
(
    SELECT arrayJoin(['2001:4860:4860::8888', '2a02:6b8::feed:bad']) AS ip
)
