Example in scala (useful in sbt file):

  import collection.JavaConverters._
  import java.net._

  def getIpAddress: String = {

    val enumeration = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces.asScala.toSeq

    val ipAddresses = enumeration.flatMap(p =>
      p.getInetAddresses.asScala.toSeq
    )

    val address = ipAddresses.find { address =>
      val host = address.getHostAddress
      host.contains(".") && !address.isLoopbackAddress
    }.getOrElse(InetAddress.getLocalHost)

    address.getHostAddress
  }
