IP IsHere Dev

This is an IP locator tool that allows you to ask for your own IP address, but the data collected on you is owned by you. You're welcome, from the future. This utility is an invaluable asset to have in your toolbox. It's a super small app that allows you host your own ip.<your-domain.com> that responds to / for TEXT response. To get a formatted output, you'd use /read.json for JSON, /read.ini for INI, and /read.yaml for a downloaded YAML file. It'll contain two parameters, one ipv4 and ipv6 depending on how you connect to the host.

Installation Next Steps (Required for Both Using Options Above)

You'll want to download the run-app.sh script in order to get the app running.

The ip.service file should be installed inside of the /etc/systemd/system.

Then you should be able to start it with:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start ip.service

If you want to run it as a background service, you can run:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable ip.service

This anticipates a /home/admin/app/config.yaml that points to something like:

domain: ip.ishere.dev
http: 80
https: 443
key: key.pem
cert: cert.pem
database: /home/admin/app-data/ip_requests.db
connections: 369
advanced: true

Then once you have the service running, you can access it with curl or your browser.
