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.

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)

Any of these tricks should allow you to find the local IP of your server:

• Connect to your internet box / router interface to list the machines connected, or check the logs;
• 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)
• Plug a screen on your server, log in and type hostname --all-ip-address.

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;
