MaxMind for Resolve.rs

The MaxMind "Lite" databases are free to use, but you cannot redistribute them, and cannot (reliably) download them every time a server starts. To get a server to start without hitting MaxMind directly, I use an encrypted version that automatically updates once a week.

Using

This is just for resolve.rs, but you can do the same thing with your own fork. You need to set the following Github secrets:

• MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY - from MaxMind
• MAXMIND_ACCOUNT_ID - also from MaxMind
• MMDB_ENCRYPTION_KEY - generate a 32-byte (64 hex digits) encryption key

You will use the MMDB_ENCRYPTION_KEY when decrypting the database files on your server. See the code in resolve.rs for an example of how to do this in TypeScript.
