I wrote this simple app awhile back, but thought I should make it available to the public.
It fixes a problem that has already be solved by things like NoIP, cloudflare and VPN services, but in a novel way. Basically, it tells you when the IP address of a machine changes, so you always know the IP address of your various devices. The IP address change, when detected, gets sent to a Discord channel via a web hook.
The program is lightweight and resilient. I’ve used it on several of my machines for years now.
Installation is simple, just enter these commands:
sudo git clone https://github.com/WirelessDan/IP_Discord_Notify /usr/local/bin/quasar && sudo bash /usr/local/bin/quasar/install.sh
It will prompt you for the name of the machine and your Discord webhook, which can be found in the “Integrations” tab of your channel.
To uninstall, simply run:
sudo bash uninstall.sh
