I had a static ip for 12 years. Setting everything was esasy peasy | |
once you had learnt your ip by heart. However, everything changes a | |
since Monday, 5th I have a dynamic ip. You have two choices here, | |
either you reconfigure all your services each time your ip changes | |
you use a service that automatically detects your new ip and redire | |
to it. | |
Well, after looking for such a service I discovered duckdns.org The | |
provide a free service which is easy to setup. You create an accoun | |
and they give you a subdomain which points to your ip, even if it | |
changes. You install a cronjob in your computer that updates your i | |
information and that's it. Awesome!!! | |
This afternoon I was thinking that it would be very cool if there w | |
a program that informed you of your ip each time you log into your | |
terminal. Something like pom but saying something like: | |
Good morning sir. Your ip is: xx.xx.xx.xx | |
Update: I found a super-kewl command which can be used to do the | |
trick: | |
$ curl ifconfig.me |
