Wheresmypi?

[TAG]

If you've ever messed with a Pi, you probably know it can sometimes be a pain to get the IP address.

Just thought I'd share a heroku app that bakerface made at FirstBuild to help with getting the IP addresses of raspberry pis, or other devices.

Pretty cool. If I'm on the same LAN, I've always just associated the MAC address with a local IP I don't care about with arp utilities.

Will this give you the local ip address?  Like 192.168.1.23 or only the global ip of your home router or both?

local ip address, so if you are on the same local network as the pi, and you navigate to wheresmypi.herokuapp.com/"pi name" you are redirected to the pi's IP address.  If you just go to wheresmypi.herokuapp.com you see a list of the pis with their names and local ip addresses.

This sounds like a really good thing to have.  I will check it out.  Also do you know if there is a pi provisioning utility?  So I can boot a pi, it shows up as a wireless access point, you connect to that point, enter other access point and password and connect?  I found some code that does that on a esp8266 and it is really neat.
