The credits page named CC BY-SA 4.0 alone. MaxMind stopped distributing
GeoLite2 under that licence by itself: the databases ship under the
GeoLite End User License Agreement, which incorporates CC BY-SA 4.0 by
reference and controls wherever the two disagree. Name both, in that
order, and link the EULA. The attribution string was already there and
is unchanged; the e2e page check now asserts both licences rather than
the one that no longer stands alone.
Reconcile the self-hosting guide with the same wording, point it at the
current EULA URL, and say why the `/about` page must stay reachable — it
is where an operator's own attribution lives.
Correct the project licence line while on the page: it still claimed
AGPL-3.0, which the page's own footer contradicts. The trunk has been
PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 since v1.15.19.
The resolver is online-first, so mounting the databases fills the ASN
and carrier but does not by itself keep login IPs on the host. Point at
the IP_GEO_LOOKUP_DISABLED section that does.
The runtime has always read GEOLITE2_DIR, but the variable was absent
from the compose `environment:` whitelist, from both env examples, and
from the docs. A variable that is not on that whitelist never reaches
the container even when the operator's `.env` sets it, so the override
existed in code and was unreachable from the documented path.
Put it on the whitelist, document it in both examples and the manifest,
and add `docs/self-hosting/geolite2.md`: fetch the databases with a free
MaxMind account, mount the directory read-only, point the variable at
it. The compose file carries the bind-mount line commented out beside
the app service.
The admin notification told the reader to set MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY in
this repository's Actions secrets — something nobody running the
published image can do, about a fallback that sends their sign-in
addresses to a third party. It now names the mount, names the online
provider it is actually querying, and links the runbook. Six locales.
It also no longer claims the carrier column stays empty; the online
tier has filled the carrier from the ISP field since v1.25.8.
A blank GEOLITE2_DIR now resolves to the default instead of the process
working directory: compose substitutes an unset variable to the empty
string, which is not nullish.
