MyIP.Coffee

MyIP.Coffee is a simple web service that returns the IP address of the client making the request.

Setup

There are two components to this project, the website and the endpoint that returns the IP address.

The endpoint runs on https://ipv4.myip.coffee and https://ipv6.myip.coffee. The IPv4 endpoint only has an A record, while the IPv6 endpoint has both only an AAAA record.

nginx

If you use nginx, you don't need the endpoint. You can use the following configuration to return the IP address of the client:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name ipv4.myip.coffee ipv6.myip.coffee;

    location / {
        return 200 "$remote_addr";
    }
}

PHP

As our web hosting solution comes with Apache and PHP, there is a PHP script in endpoint/index.php that just returns the IP address of the client. It is trivial to implement this in other languages, so this is left as an exercise to the reader.
