[BUG] Geolite database download failing

Describe the bug The URL Varken is trying to download is offline. (http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz) which makes installing Varken for the first time impossible. This is due to what I’m guessing new privacy regulations at Maxmind that started on the 30th of December, 2019.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Varken from fresh without Geolite2-City.mmdb

Expected behavior Varken to grab the .mmdb file from Maxmind and install successfully.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Docker, boerderij/varken
• Version: latest

Additional context I managed to fix this myself by creating an account and downloading it manually, but this should be addressed.

Have you checked the releases or read the changelog?

Also in the future if you need support please use one of our support methods.

@davralin The documentation is clear. It is only a requirement if you use the Tautulli module. It has always been that way. MaxMind changed their requirements where a key is now required.

If you have any further questions or issues use our support methods as I already stated. Issues is not the place for support.
