# ipquery

This project contains two binaries.  One is a picoservice to tell you

what your IP address is.  The other is a utility to update your

Network ACL on AWS.

This is useful if you do not have a fixed IP address and you

periodically need to update your network ACL to reflect your current

IP address.

## Installing

You can install the update-acl utility by issuing the following command:

    go get -u github.com/borud/ipquery/cmd/update-acl

## update-acl

Update ACL figures out what your externally visible IP address is by

calling the `ipquery` picoservice.  By default the `update-acl`

program uses my personal service, but if you are going to use this I

would strongly suggest you set up your own since I can't guarantee

the stability of this service.

You can view the command line options by running `update-acl -h`:

    $ bin/update-acl -h

    Usage:

      update-acl [OPTIONS]

    

    Application Options:

      -s, --whatismyip-url= WhatIsMyIP service URL (default: https://h.borud.no/whatismyip)

      -a, --network-acl-id= Network ACL ID

      -p, --port=           Port number (default: 22)

      -t, --protocol-type=  6 is TCP, 17 is UDP (default: 6)

      -n, --rule-number=    ACL rule number

      -r, --aws-region=     AWS region (default: eu-north-1)

      -d, --dry-run         Dry run only

    

    Help Options:

      -h, --help            Show this help message

### Using scripts

One way to make updating ACLs a bit more convenient is to create

shellscripts that contain the configurations for your different

environments.  Here is an example:

    #!/bin/sh

    #

    #

	WHATISMYIP_URL=

    NETWORK_ACL_ID=

    AWS_REGION=

    PORT=

    RULE_ID=

    

    update-acl \

	    -s $WHATISMYIP_URL \

    	-a $NETWORK_ACL_ID \

    	-r $AWS_REGION \

    	-p $PORT \

    	-n $RULE_ID

### Credentials

Since we use the AWS Go SDK you have to set up your credentials so

please have a look at this page on how to get this done:
