Update Maxmind GeoLite2 DB (IP geo blocking) without restarting SFTPGo docker container

[Staubgeborener]

I am using the sftpgo-plugin-geoipfilter plugin with a Maxmind GeoLite2 country db. SFTPGo is running in a docker container. This is basically working like a charm.

The problem: I am using a cron which is downloading the current Maxmind DB once a week. The cron also unzips the tar file and puts the mmdb file into the correct place. But i have the feeling, i need to restart the whole SFTPGo docker container after that, otherwise SFTPGo is using the "old" db which is mounted inside the container. The solution is easy: Run your cron with curl/wget/whatsoever && restart the SFTPGo Container. That's a huge issue on my side as this would kick all my users from their current (downloading) session. Is there a way to do update the Maxmind GeoLite2 DB without restarting the container everytime?

Maybe someone can confirm this idea: What about restarting the init process, could this load all plugins with new data without restarting the whole container?

docker exec SFTPGo sh -c 'kill -HUP 1'
