FIX: Correct error in ip-lookup component definition (#17339)
7caaee2 introduced a duplicate definition of the component JS. This likely happened because we had the template defined under `javascripts/discourse`, and the component JS defined under `javascript/admin`. This commit removes the duplicate definition, and moves the template to the admin addon

  • Ember.js — Our front end is an Ember.js app that communicates with the Rails API.
  • PostgreSQL — Our main data store is in Postgres.
  • Redis — We use Redis as a cache and for transient data.
