If you’re hosting services at home like Home Assistant, a media server, or a private cloud it’s often useful to know your current public IP address. Instead of logging into your router or using a browser, just run this in your terminal:
curl https://ipinfo.io/ip
Do you use small commands like this in your homelab?

My name is Marcel and I live in the Netherlands. I thought it was time to start a blog about my tech life. This has been on my to-do list for a long time.
I am a tech nerd. System administration has been my hobby since I was young. I really enjoy working with servers, networks, and new technology.
At home, I have my own server rack where I run different systems. I am a big UniFi fan and use it for my network and storage setup. I also run a Proxmox cluster, which I use to manage virtual machines, LXC containers and experiment with different setups.
Besides that, I am interested in decentralized technologies. I follow and support two DePIN projects: PreSearch and RunOnFlux. This website is also running on RunOnFlux.
In this blog, I will share my experiences, setups, and things I learn along the way.
Thanks for visiting!
Marcel
