Finding your server's local IP	docs	category docs	default /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 the active IP corresponding to your server:

• 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 screenshot to easily see effectively-used IP. !!! - your server should typically be displayed as listening on port 80 and 443 !!! - in case of doubt, just type https://192.168.x.y in your browser to check 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 direct access on the server"] Plug a screen on your server, log in and type hostname --all-ip-address.

The default credentials (before post-installation!) to log in are:

• login: root
• password: yunohost

(If you are using a raw Armbian image instead of the pre-installed Yunohost image, the credentials are 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;
