问题
I currently have a working app and I would like to have Rails detect a visitor's location by the IP address and display the city and state on the homepage of my website. For example, it would display "Hello {Name} from City, State".
Visitors do not have to enter anything. I'm aware of things like GeoIP and Geocode. As far as I know about them, they are used to search for locations from IP or vice versa but they require manually inputting the info.
I need it to do it automatically as soon as the user visits my homepage. I have a Post Controller and a home page, and I just want to add some code to my home page's HAML to display the info. I plan to categorize user's posts based on location, which will be automatically filled in (I currently have a location field that user's must enter manually). If you can show me how to do that too, that would be great.
For a live example of what I'm needing, visit weather.com and you'll see your city (and the weather) on the homepage.
Additional info: I'm fairly new to Rails 4 (started 2 weeks ago) so please show me the simplest way and point me to video resources if possible.

Add to the gemfile
gem 'geocoder'
run bundle install and restart your server
Put <%= request.location.city %> in the view you want the city name to appear in.

There are lots of services that provide RESTful JSON APIs which will give you location data based on the IP address, for example: http://www.telize.com/
All you need to do is in your controller, catch the source of the HTTP request (Rack::Request) via request.env['REMOTE_ADDR'] and feed to the Geo API.

One more solution is to use ruby gem for Yandex locator (https://tech.yandex.ru/locator/). Yandex locator is a service that finds mobile devices in a region delineated by a circle. The service returns longitude, latitude and precision. https://github.com/sergey-chechaev/yandex_locator
client = YandexLocator::Client.new(api_key: 'api key', version: '1.0')
result = client.lookup(ip: { address_v4: '178.247.233.3' })
result.position
# => {"altitude"=>0.0, "altitude_precision"=>30.0, "latitude"=>41.00892639160156, "longitude"=>28.96711158752441, "precision"=>100000.0, "type"=>"ip"}
