Public IP

Queries the GitHub actions runner's public IP address using ipify

Motivation

GitHub actions shared runners are hosted in Azure (Windows & Linux) and Mac Stadium for macOS, so whitelisting all these infrastructures can be difficult and needs to be updated every once in a while.

GitHub Help

This action allows you to whitelist the runner's address and remove it once the pipeline finishes.

Usage

Inputs

• maxRetries - How many retries on the ipify API before failing. Default: 5

Outputs

• ipv4 - Public IPv4 of the runner
• ipv6 - Public IPv6 of the runner. If not available the ipv4 will be returned

Example workflow

name: Public IP

on: push

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Public IP
      id: ip
      uses: haythem/public-ip@v1.3

    - name: Print Public IP
      run: |
        echo ${{ steps.ip.outputs.ipv4 }}
        echo ${{ steps.ip.outputs.ipv6 }}
