Django - How get IP of request in a custom receiver?

I have following code:

@receiver(user_logged_in)
def user_logged_in_callback(sender, request, user, **kwargs):  
    ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
    AuditEntry.objects.create(action='User logged in', ip=ip, username=user.username)

It works great.

In views.py I have a custom receiver:

@receiver(pre_save, sender=User)
def user_updated(sender, **kwargs):
    user = kwargs.get('instance', None)
    ip = request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']
    if user:
        new_password = user.password
        try:
            old_password = User.objects.get(pk=user.pk).password
        except User.DoesNotExist:
            old_password = None
        if new_password != old_password:
            AuditEntry.objects.create(action='Password has changed', ip="127.0.0.1", username=user.username)

For sure it falls with "no request found" error.

I can't figure out how to extract IP.

Thank you.

Or maybe I am overengineering my code? All I need is to create AuditEntry with parameters after User model has changed.

To me, It looks like you forgot the request param in your function.

You need to pass the request param.
