How to Set Static IP in Ubuntu Server 22.04

[@sheilagonzalez9662]

I'm a windows sys admin forced to bring up an ubuntu server. This helped A TON! Thank you!

[@rkstreet63]

You are really good at explaining things with just the right about of detail.

[@KeepItTechie]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you find the explanations helpful. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Always here to help!

[@personstandingup]

Amazing man thank you saved me so much time!

[@MadMansThoughts]

Thanks so much for the help! I'm so glad you explained the Gateway situation since I started with another tutorial that didn't mention it so I wasn't able to connect to the internet. I did, however, find documentation saying that Gateway4 was deprecated and to use "default routes" instead. Regardless, you were a LOT of help. Subscribed!

[@jasonthomas5647]

Smooth! I love your videos and the background music as well. I’m setting up a new homelab with Ubuntu 22.04 and using all your videos for guidance. Your content is great because you show the simplest way to do things and you are very concise and thorough in a small amount of time. This is huge because Time is so precious and you literally increase the value of the time I spend learning all this great Linux stuff!! Thank you so much for what you do! I hope you keep putting out the great content. God bless! ✌️

[@AllAbout.Digital]

I agree with this :)

[@ColinAverill]

DUDE!!!! This worked and I didn't break anything!!! Baby steps.... Thank you! I'm trying to set up a home server/NAS and I find a video that teaches me one thing, but then I have to find another to learn another part, then find another video to learn another part. It's very frustrating and time-consuming. Linux kinda sucks. But I kind of love it. Thank you again for making this simple. I do just want to point out that at one point in the video, when you're creating the .yaml backup file (5:58), that not all of it shows up on screen. That was a little concerning at first, but I figured it out after I saw you did "ls" and it showed "[xxxxx]-config.yaml.bck", and not just "[xxxxx]-config.bck". Also I had to type in the entire .yaml address initially (4:40). pressing Tab twice did not work for me.

[@zorroskullgar4698]

Sweet, many thanks dude!

[@matthewwilson9946]

Just want to drop a comment to say thanks. This was doing my head in a little bit, not too used to HyperV and Ubuntu server did not want to install with a NIC. Had to remove prior to installation so was a bit wobbly. Thanks!

[@icleave]

Since gateway4 deprecated, can you please update with routes: - to: default via: ?

[@jasonstapley6822]

Comment is spot on but still a useful video

[@Chucs_Padida]

I have my Windows domain lab set up, and now I'm going to build a linux domain. Thanks! :D

[@Ekklesia_Corner]

The only thing I'll add to this, if you are using a server that preconfigures your server for you, when my server came up I followed this set of instructions. (I will say thank you very much to this gentleman because he's got the only tutorial out of about 30 that I've watched and read that actually tells you how to find the existing config file for ip. Being the curious nerd that I am I did the cat /etc/netplan/ then hit tab twice and hit enter and lo and behold there was my ip 4 and ip config file already in static mode. I'd hate for anyone to have to spend the time doing a new netplan config for nothing if you don't have to as yaml sucks in mho. Makes me love my vps company even more since it was set up in static already.

[@toddmartin7030]

Excellent video, thank you! Its been awhile since I've set up a linux server, most of the servers I stand up are BSD, so this video was a real life saver today!

[@KeepItTechie]

Glad it helped!

[@KattheLeopardess-Catwoman69y2k]

thank you for making this video. I was wondering if the process to do this kind of thing had changed and/or improved. Subscribing...

[@slazy9219]

Love your videos on this topic bro, greetings from Germany

[@cedrickrause5469]

Hey, urgently need your help. I followed the tutorial as said until I reached the point, where I would have needed to copy your code. Now I cant connect to theNetwork with my Server how do I make my Server use the file for the none staic Ip again. So how do I get it to use the file, which I put in bck again.

[@KeepItTechie]

Here is what it should be for dhcp: network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: your_interface_name: dhcp4: true

[@Cj_prints]

Brilliant! Thanks for the video.

[@arickthompson9833]

' cat /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml ' My system says "No such file or directory". I have a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu, also checked for updates

[@vusumuzingozo1071]

Did you manage to solve the issue?

[@teambattleground9076]

cd into the netplan directory then create the file using nano "sudo nano static.yaml" from inside the directory and it will work.

[@cruzinsweetsntreats]

You may have a different file. To see what file you use, run: *ls /etc/netplan* My default: *50-cloud-init.yaml* I am running Ubuntu 24.04 on ProxMox 8.2

[@cruzinsweetsntreats]

@@teambattleground9076 and if you get permission warnings, you'll need to change the config file's permissions: *sudo chmod 600 /etc/netplan/static.yaml* or whatever you chose to name the file, to match that of your original. *netplan* under Ubuntu 24.04 was giving me just that. To compare the permissions with the backup file: *ls -lo /etc/netplan*

[@WilliamMurderbass]

You probably installed Ubuntu barebones like a true cavalier so you can fully customize everything. You're so barebones right now you don't nano or netplan installed on your os.

[@MetalElmmer]

That helped me out so much! Thank you, bro, for this!

[@Radenska512]

Thanks for your help ^^ I kinda avoided the Netplan configuration type, cause last time I screwed up my connection to a VM badly. But you explained it very well

[@KeepItTechie]

Yeah those ymal files are very sensitive. Glad I could help!

Does it give a static IP outside my network to access my system or inside my home network?

[@todaysbibleteaching]

I do not have that file in the folder that you told me to go into. My file is 1-network-manager-all.yaml and what is in there is let network manager manage all devices on this system network: version 2 renderer: networkmanager

[@andyng-lt4dq]

hi, it doesn't work when I ping to dns servers, I used routes via as well

[@b_a_k2817]

the dynamic IP assigned was ending with .132 but in the static.yaml file you set IP to .212 -what was the reason you choose 212?

[@KeepItTechie]

In the video, I chose the static IP address 192.168.10.212 randomly, ensuring it was outside the dynamic range of my router, typically 192.168.10.100 to 200. This is to prevent IP conflicts, as addresses within this range are dynamically assigned by the DHCP server to devices on the network. Selecting an IP outside this range ensures network stability and avoids potential connectivity issues.

When i do sudo nano /etc/netplan/static.yaml,It somehow says "sudo:nano: command not found",I am not sure which part i have done wrong since i have followed the exact route in the video

check that you have nano installed

[@parvanstoianov2141]

Can you give an example how to configure more than one NIC with a static address

[@TheRVSN]

Maybe try to add a device branch after "ethernets:"? Update. Recommend running: $ man netplan

[@jasonthomas5647]

Hi, I setup my static IP like this and when I login to my router it doesn’t list my device as connected but it is! Strange. So I set the reserve IP(in the router)the same as the server and now it is listed but says “reserve inactive” but it is still working properly. Are there any settings that I should change in router after setting static IP on computer? Thanks you for the great content!

[@KeepItTechie]

Make sure you set the static IP outside of your routers DHCP range. That will make sure the router doesn't try to assign it to another device. Also It won't show on the router unless you set it there like you did.

[@jasonthomas5647]

🙏🏻 keep It techie!!

[@charliesangha]

Thanks dude

[@hemanthchowdaryd]

i can still see my old ip4 in the secondary IP section and the new static . how can I remove the secondary Ip using netplan?

[@KeepItTechie]

Make sure you removed the dhcp configuration file.

[@hemanthchowdaryd]

[@RKGraves]

Thank You - Very Helpful and I appreciate your time. Any chance you have a sample .yaml file showing both IPv4 and IPv6 settings? Again, Thanks!

[@KeepItTechie]

You're welcome! For IPv4 and IPv6 settings in .yaml: set addresses, gateways, and nameservers for both IPv4 and IPv6 in your network config file.

[@adityahpatel]

but how to do do this for WLAN0? wireless

[@KeepItTechie]

Same process just change the interface name.

[@adityahpatel]

@@KeepItTechie Can u pls advise what i am doing wrong. I am on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS on Raspberry Pi4B. I did that my interface name is "wlan0", so i created a new file called 01-aditya.yaml so as to avoid the 50-cloud-init.yaml in the same folder. network: version: 2 wifis: renderer: networkd wlan0: access-points: Lewistown-5Gz: passsword: __mypasswrd______ dhcp4: true optional: true Above is what i have. It doesn't work though. What am I doing wrong? Where can i assign say static ip of 192.168.0.111 to my raspberry pi and assume my gateway is 192.168.0.1?

[@jasonthomas5647]

Oh No! What does it mean when I type “whatsmyip” for an IP check and “canyouseeme” for an open port check and the IP they list for my server is not my static IP I set on my machine( and I’m not using a VPN)! Is my machine compromised? I also did a sudo fail2ban-client sshd and it showed 0 banned IP’s and 0 failed attempts! What going on Josh?

[@KeepItTechie]

Okay, so when you run "whatsmyip" this will return your outside IP address provided by your ISP. The static address you set on the server is on your internal IP address on your local area network (LAN).

[@KeepItTechie]

Your machine is not compromised. The bots most likely haven't found your server yet.

[@coding3617]

how to set public ip addess as static ip address? PLEASE HELP

[@KeepItTechie]

You have to bypass your isp's device. From what I remember you can clone the IP within there device router. Not sure why you would do this though, especially now a days? You can forward the connections to your server via port forwarding on your router.

[@jatmo6991]

Black people doing tech. Love it. Always.

[@Linuxme]

The current syntax to replace gateway4 is routes with to and via. routes: - to: default via: 192.168.x.x

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

Thanks.

[@serenditymuse]

Fixed DHCP address in NOT a static IP address. I have a true assigned by ISP extra static IP address.

[@KeepItTechie]

Its depend on what network you're speaking of. The static IP address you get from your ISP is a WAN address. My video is specifically covering how to setup the static IP address on the LAN or local area network.

[@linkdorf376]

Static address is non changing, this video describes it inside your local network. THIS HAS NOTHING to do with ISPs address.

[@Leseul3d]

merci!

[@Jacq4y]

Hi. I don't understand why you do a "cp" and then a "rm" instead of just doing a "mv"... it works but it is not efficient (be lazy !) - BTW thanks for the video

Yeah I normally use rm. Thank! I appreciate you stopping by.
