curl cannot show you that. In fact, your "Linux server" on your LAN usually
doesn't have any "public address" at all. You typically go through a
NAT/router to the Internet and that NAT will give you a public address while
in use, and that public address can be shown by services online such as:
"curl ip.me"
This not really curl showing the address though. It just shows you the content
that remote service returns.
