get client ip address in request hapijs for node

Question

我需要在hapijs节点的请求中使用我的应用程序获取客户端的IP地址...我们使用pm2和Nginx服务器运行实时我们使用了request.info.address但是它给服务器本地ip作为127.0.0.1但我需要的是使用我的应用程序的客户端IP，例如：192.xx111 ...

Answer 1

In case if you are running the server behind a Nginx proxy server you would have to use

    req.headers['x-real-ip']

else you can use

req.info.remoteAddress

Answer 2

I always get client IP address with this function :)

    return request.headers['x-forwarded-for'] ||
    request.connection.remoteAddress ||
    request.socket.remoteAddress ||
    request.connection.socket.remoteAddress;

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

I'm running the same stack for my hapi apps with nginx and PM2. Proxying requests through nginx to a node app on the same host will always result in 127.0.0.1 for the remote address, because nginx forwards the request on the same host.

Solution: there's a dedicated plugin hapi-geo-locate that determines the actual client IP address even though you're running your app behind a reverse proxy (like nginx).

hapi-geo-locate supports various proxies and HTTP headers, so you should be save and get the user's IP running your app on different platforms.

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

You should check the configuration on the reverse proxy (nginx) and see if you are sending the ip and how you're doing it.

For example (nginx conf):

server {
    listen       0.0.0.0:80;
    server_name  [your_domain];
    root /webroot/[your_domain or webapp name];
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/[your_domain or webapp name].log;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header HOST $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:[port assigned to node];
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
}

In this case, you will get the client's IP via the header X-Real-IP .

So in HapiJS, where you have access to the request object:

const ip = request.headers['x-real-ip'] || request.info.remoteAddress;
