Node.js How to get the IP address of http server listening on a specific port

I've a following very basic code of HTTP server which is listening on port 8000. How to determine the IP address of server, can it be retrieved from the 'server' variable? I am working on an application where I need to automatically send the server Info (ip,port etc..) to redis store.

I'm new to node.js, Thanks for the help

var http = require("http");
var server = http.createServer(function(request, response) {
  response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/html"});
  response.write("Hello!!!");
  response.end();
});

 

server.listen(8000);
console.log("Server is listening....");

Use the following:

server.address()

Which logs something like:

{ address: '0.0.0.0', family: 'IPv4', port: 8080 }

To log the IP of your server to the console, use:

console.log( server.address().address );

Assuming you want the address your server is bound to, you can use server.address.address to get the IP address the server is bound to. Similarly, you can use server.address.port to get the port number that the server is bound to.

From: http://nodejs.org/api/net.html#net_server_address.
