This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Geo2tz on Fedora CoreOS Latest. Geo2tz is a geolocation to timezone mapping service that helps to determine the timezone of a location based on its geographic coordinates.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following pre-requisites installed on your system:
The first step is to clone the Geo2tz repository from GitHub. To do that, open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/noandrea/geo2tz.git
This will clone the Geo2tz repository to your local system.
Geo2tz is packaged as a container image, so the next step is to build the container using the Dockerfile provided in the repository. To do that, navigate to the Geo2tz directory by running the following command:
cd geo2tz
Then, build the container using the following command:
sudo podman build . -t geo2tz:latest
This will build the container and tag it as geo2tz:latest.
Now that the container is built, you can run it using the following command:
sudo podman run -d --name geo2tz -p 8080:8080 geo2tz:latest
This will start the container in the background with the name geo2tz and expose the service on port 8080.
To verify that Geo2tz is running correctly, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/timezone?lat=37.7749&lng=-122.4194. This should return a JSON response with the timezone information for the given location.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Geo2tz on Fedora CoreOS Latest!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
