Describe the Bug

Dear all,

my ./config/config.yml includes the following lines:

server:
  maxmind_db_path: "./config/geo-db/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb"

The file is available and readable:

root@ionos-1:/docker# ls -l ./config/geo-db/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9641734 Jan 23 11:34 ./config/geo-db/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb

Now - whenever somebody connects - I get the following line in the logs:

MaxMind ASN DB path not configured, cannot perform ASN lookup

This puzzles me.

Example:
