The script provides developers with a seamless solution for managing their local IP public and hostname during development.
- Set your IP Hostname in the Windows hosts file.
- Set the current IP public address on the unique Hostname always after the network connection is changed
Developers often face the challenge of managing their public IP addresses while developing applications. When a network connection changes, they must update the IP address within their application, which can be a tedious and error-prone process. To streamline this, developers typically set a hostname to work with, but even then, they need to manually update the IP address every time it changes. This script solves the problem by automating the creation and management of a hostname, ensuring that developers can consistently use a stable hostname throughout the development process, regardless of IP address changes.
- Clone the Project
- Move it to a Directory that you want to
- Run the
add_current_local_ip_scheduler.ps1as Administrator - It will create a Task-Scheduler that runs our script as soon as the network reconnects - Disconnect your Network and Connect again - Two PowerShell windows will briefly open and close.
- Done. Your public IP address hostname is created in the Windows hosts file and you can use it as a
local_ipname in your development connections
Go to the Project directory, Run the Windows Powershell as Administrator, and Just follow the below command
cd /schedule
