So I have a FreeBSD server that needs to know its external IP address and set it as an environment variable. So far, my method for doing this has been
Code: EXTERNAL_IP="$(dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com)"Of course, this relies on (1) the IP not changing after boot and (2) opendns not going away. Does anyone have ideas on a more robust way of handling this problem? There's probably a very simple solution that I've completely overlooked :) |
