dynamic dns
Wednesday Oct 7 11:27:13 2015
I had a static ip for 12 years. Setting everything was esasy peasy
once you had learnt your ip by heart. However, everything changes and
since Monday, 5th I have a dynamic ip. You have two choices here,
either you reconfigure all your services each time your ip changes or
you use a service that automatically detects your new ip and redirects
to it.
Well, after looking for such a service I discovered duckdns.org They
provide a free service which is easy to setup. You create an account
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 ip
information and that's it. Awesome!!!
This afternoon I was thinking that it would be very cool if there was
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
