How to get the public_id of the node

if the config does not contain the public_id - then the node will get a random one. How can I get this random value?

If you’re on 0.8.9 , you can get the ID from node stats
(PS: The ID may be soon depreciated)

It’s returned by node stats now as nodeId.

v0.8.9 does not give back nodeid for me - will try 0.8.10-alpha
