Geo location

In order to use the geolocation capabilites of sentry, You need to provide a geolocation database from MaxMind, for which You will require an valid Account in MaxMind, it is free

The Sentry Project makes use of the GeoIPUpdate product from MaxMind to download/update its database, so the only requirement is to provide the GeoIP.conf to the geoip directory, running install.sh will call an update process to the database alongside. If You dont provide a GeoIP.conf file, the database will be empty
