On an installation at home, your server should typically be accessible using the `yunohost.local` domain. If for any reason this does not work, you may need to find the *local* IP of your server.

## What is a local IP ?
The local IP is the address used to refer to your server inside the local network (typically your home) where multiple devices are connected to a router (your internet box). The local IP typically looks like `192.168.x.y` (or sometimes `10.0.x.y` or `172.16.x.y`)

## How to find it ?
Any of these tricks should allow you to find the local IP of your server:
[ui-tabs position="top-left" active="0" theme="lite"]
[ui-tab title="(Recommended) With AngryIP"]

You can use the [AngryIP](https://angryip.org/download/) software to achieve that. You just need to scan these local ip ranges in this order until you find some active IP:
- 192.168.0.0 -> 192.168.0.255
- 192.168.1.0 -> 192.168.1.255
- 192.168.2.0 -> 192.168.255.255
- 10.0.0.0 -> 10.0.255.255
- 172.16.0.0 -> 172.31.255.255

!!! Tips: you can order by ping like on this image.

If you find some IPs with a ping, you can try to type it directly in a browser and see if it's a yunohost or not.

[ui-tab title="With your internet router / box"]
Connect to your internet box / router interface to list the machines connected.

[ui-tab title="With arp-scan"]
If you're using Linux, you can open a terminal and use `sudo arp-scan --local` to list the IP on your local network (this may also work in Windows);

If the `arp-scan` command displays a confusing number of devices, you can check which ones are open to SSH with `nmap -p 22 192.168.1.0/24` to sort them out (adapt the IP range to your local network)
[/ui-tab]
[ui-tab title="With a screen"]
Plug a screen on your server, log in and type `hostname --all-ip-address`.

If you don't know credentials to login, try the following default credentials:

| login | password |
|---|---|
| root | yunohost |
| root | 1234 |

## I still can't find my local IP

If you are unable to find your server using any of the previous tricks, maybe your server did not boot correctly:

- Make sure that your server is properly plugged in;
- If you're using an SD card, make sure the connector is not too dusty;
- Plug a screen on your server and try to reboot to check that it's properly booting;
- Make sure that your ethernet cable is working and properly plugged in;
