IP Checker
2026 July 24: Down due to migration
Info
I realized while working on some proxy stuff that I use icanhazip.com for checking my IP quite a bit and wondered how simple it would be to spin up my own. I initially thought I could do this pretty simply using just Nginx config files, but also thought it would be a pretty simple Golang net/http project. In fact, it was simpler than I thought it would be - the most annoying part was realizing I needed to split a string in two.. which is pretty simple.
All of the code & service files can be found here.
P.S. Don’t look at the .gitlab-ci.yml commits.. please.
