[feature:idea] Task to update the GeoLite database

Open DragnEmperor opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

The GeoList database is updated

  • twice in a week
  • monthly

based on the database provider we opt for. Thus, in order to ensure we have the latest details on each fetch, the database needs to be updated as per the frequency. This can be done via an independent celery task running periodically.

Moving this to backlog as we are picking the database approach based on the demand/requirements of the feature.

We went through a different route of using the REST API. Maybe one day we'll come back to this. It depends on how the community will use this feature. For the moment I want to close this as I don't want new contributors to think we are actively working on this idea.

We can reopen the issue if we find out there's a real need for this.
