I’m trying to set up Nginx on my server. In the initial set up I have to do ip -4 addr show scope global
So I do that and I get:
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 inet 157.245.5.153/20 brd 157.245.15.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet 10.17.0.5/16 brd 10.17.255.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 inet 10.108.0.2/20 brd 10.108.15.255 scope global eth1 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
for eth0: which IP address do I need to use?

Hi @b3699d04c0e6-4b4f-afaf-3bd295,
You can see the IP address in the eth0 line. As has already been mentioned it’s 157.245.5.153, the /20 part is what range this IP is from. Usually, you should be able to see the Droplet’s IP with
command as well.
Hi there,
Based on the output that you’ve shared, the following should be the public IPv4 address of your Droplet:
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
