How to get user's ip in Django project?

Question

Django

Good evening, I'm not doing a big project, you need to save the user's ip, the project is distributed at 127.0.0.1 and in nginx it is already redirected to the server address. Used info from Django documentation .

ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR', '') or request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR', '')  
user.user_ip=ip
user.save()

As a result, I get in the User.user_ip field - 127.0.0.1
What is wrong, please tell me?

Answer 1

In nginx, forward the client's ip:
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
or
uwsgi_param X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
In Djang get:
request.META['HTTP_X_REAL_IP']

Answer 2

Works without nginx:

class UpdateIPv4UserMeta(object):
    def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):
        user = request.user
        today_30min = timezone.now() + timezone.timedelta(minutes=30)
        if user.is_authenticated():
            if user.last_login > today_30min:
                User.objects.filter(id=request.user.id).\
                    update(latest_ip=request.META['REMOTE_ADDR'])
