/finding_the_local_ip

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

[/ui-tab] [/ui-tabs]

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;
