Methods to detect public IP address in bash

If on an AWS EC2 you can use:

curl checkip.amazonaws.com

NOTE: this service can be used from any web client.

curl ipinfo.io/ip

wget -q -O - ipinfo.io/ip

lynx -source ipinfo.io/ip

get public ip address

curl ifconfig.me would be the best choice, in case you don't have curl:

wget -qO- ifconfig.me/ip
