GeoIP Manual Database Updating

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

I am manually updating the GeoIP databases, but don't have the ability to host the updated DBs on a web server somewhere. Is it possible to utilize a Elasticsearch, Kibana, or Logstash to host the files? For instance, I know this specific filepath wouldn't work (or at least I wouldn't expect it to), sticking the files in Logstash\bin and then referencing it through a URL https://logstash.example.net/overview.json?

I broke down and setup IIS on the Logstash server. It's really too bad that these databases can't be referenced with a file path.

Geoip can be referenced to the file:

   geoip {
     source => "clientip"
     database => "/opt/downloads/GeoLite2-City.mmdb"
   }

Check here and here
