<h3>What is local-ip.sh?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
local-ip.sh is a magic domain name that provides wildcard DNS for any IP address. It is heavily inspired by
|
|
<a href="http://local-ip.co">local-ip.co</a>, <a href="https://sslip.io">sslip.io</a>, and <a href="https://xip.io">xip.io</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Quick example, say your LAN IP address is <strong>192.168.1.10</strong>. Using local-ip.sh,</p>
|
|
<aside>
|
|
<p><strong>192-168-1-10</strong>.local-ip.sh resolves to 192.168.1.10</p>
|
|
<p>dots.<strong>192.168.1.10</strong>.local-ip.sh resolves to 192.168.1.10</p>
|
|
<p>dashes.<strong>192-168-1-10</strong>.local-ip.sh resolves to 192.168.1.10</p>
|
|
</aside>
|
|
<p>
|
|
...and so on. You can use these domains to access virtual hosts on your development web server
|
|
from devices on your local network. No configuration required!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The best part is, you can serve your content over HTTPS with our TLS certificate for <code>*.local-ip.sh</code>:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="/server.pem">server.pem</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="/server.key">server.key</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Be aware that wildcard certificates are not recursive, meaning they don't match
|
|
"sub-subdomains". <br>In our case, this certificate will only match subdomains of
|
|
<code>local-ip.sh</code> such as <code>192-168-1-10.local-ip.sh</code> where dashes separate
|
|
the numbers that make up the IP address.

<h3>How does it work?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
local-ip.sh runs publicly a <a href="https://github.com/m5r/local-ip.sh">custom DNS server</a>.
|
|
When your computer looks up a local-ip.sh domain, the local-ip.sh DNS server resolves to the IP address it extracts from the domain.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The TLS certificate is obtained from Let's Encrypt and renewed up to a month before it expires.</p>
