Bash ip addresses

Get routable IP address

So far this seems both the simplest and most straightforward way to reliably get our IP address..

chubbard@kvm03:~$ ip route get 1.2.3.4 | awk '{print $7}'
192.168.15.107

Details without awk:
chubbard@kvm03:~$ ip route get 1.2.3.4 
1.2.3.4 via 192.168.15.1 dev enp2s0f0 src 192.168.15.107 uid 1000 
    cache 

Alternate messier way

ip a |grep inet | awk '{print $2}' | grep '^[1-9]'
127.0.0.1/8
192.168.15.107/24
192.168.15.108/24
192.168.122.1/24
