I’ve just been implementing the awesome Automated User Location Determination, which involves configuring Maxmind properly. This was on a new instance.
The new app.yml is lovely and lean, but doesn’t include the Maxmind ENV variables as a comment any more.
If this is to be more accessible to less confident self-hosting sysadmins, we might need a clear explainer - and to point them to this topic:
Also - a minor UX thing
An unwanted (by me anyway) link to the map pops up on the sidebar, and this isn’t governed by any settings. I’ve hidden it thus:
// hide the users map link
.sidebar-sections li[data-list-item-name="users map"] {
display: none;
}
Perhaps it is time to deprecate both this and the (setting controlled) topic map link? These can now easily be added via the standard UI if the admin wishes to have them.
