# echoip

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mpolden/echoip.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/mpolden/echoip)

A simple service for looking up your IP address. This is the code that powers
https://ifconfig.co.

## Usage

Just the business, please:

```
$ curl ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1

$ http ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1

$ wget -qO- ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1

$ fetch -qo- https://ifconfig.co
127.0.0.1

$ bat -print=b ifconfig.co/ip
127.0.0.1
```

Country and city lookup:

```
$ curl ifconfig.co/country
Elbonia

$ curl ifconfig.co/country-iso
EB

$ curl ifconfig.co/city
Bornyasherk

$ curl ifconfig.co/asn
AS59795
```

As JSON:

```
$ curl -H 'Accept: application/json' ifconfig.co  # or curl ifconfig.co/json
{
  "city": "Bornyasherk",
  "country": "Elbonia",
  "country_iso": "EB",
  "ip": "127.0.0.1",
  "ip_decimal": 2130706433,
  "asn": "AS59795",
  "asn_org": "Hosting4Real"
}
```

Port testing:

```
$ curl ifconfig.co/port/80
{
  "ip": "127.0.0.1",
  "port": 80,
  "reachable": false
}
```

Pass the appropriate flag (usually `-4` and `-6`) to your client to switch
between IPv4 and IPv6 lookup.

## Features

* Easy to remember domain name
* Fast
* Supports IPv6
* Supports HTTPS
* Supports common command-line clients (e.g. `curl`, `httpie`, `ht`, `wget` and `fetch`)
* JSON output
* ASN, country and city lookup using the MaxMind GeoIP database
* Port testing
* All endpoints (except `/port`) can return information about a custom IP address specified via `?ip=` query parameter
* Open source under the [BSD 3-Clause license](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause)

## Why?

* To scratch an itch
* An excuse to use Go for something
* Faster than ifconfig.me and has IPv6 support

## Building

Compiling requires the [Golang compiler](https://golang.org/) to be installed.
This package can be installed with `go get`:

`go get github.com/mpolden/echoip/...`

For more information on building a Go project, see the [official Go
documentation](https://golang.org/doc/code.html).

## Docker image

A Docker image is available on [Docker
Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/mpolden/echoip), which can be downloaded with:

`docker pull mpolden/echoip`

### Usage

```
$ echoip -h
Usage of echoip:
  -C int
    	Size of response cache. Set to 0 to disable
  -H value
    	Header to trust for remote IP, if present (e.g. X-Real-IP)
  -a string
    	Path to GeoIP ASN database
  -c string
    	Path to GeoIP city database
  -f string
    	Path to GeoIP country database
  -l string
    	Listening address (default ":8080")
  -p	Enable port lookup
  -r	Perform reverse hostname lookups
  -t string
    	Path to template directory (default "html")
