Easy is what standard Debian (12 and 13) does: NetworkManager and openresolv/resolvconf , even for complex setup of VLANs and bridges, Virtual Machines. Canonical/Ubuntu have invented netplan.io, so they manage NM and systemd-networkd with a yaml script. Easy for them as large organization for business customers. Might not for you as image downloader, as it introduces extra yaml while .nmconnection files are easy to copy between hosts. Also, systemd-resolved might be used, which is actually a sort of local DNS server. It should enable high performance I guess, by default caching enabled, but is that applicable for a simple ARM SBC connected to an ISP router, I don't know. I know is needs extra work for me. So you need to dig into that. Or not use Ubuntu at all. I anyway do not use images, only for testing for others, not to use them myself. It is simply using apt for (dist-)upgrades and so I use standard Debian upgrade method to get from Bookworm to Trixie and keep my KDE as I use that mostly. Also switching kernel, just via apt removals/installs and/or bootmanager. If you get stuck, use sudo nmtui to set an extra network profile connection with fixed IP, known DNS maybe. Done that many times to get things running although not permanent good solution.

It has become your issue. That is the unpleasant reality. It is your setup. It makes no sense to keep guessing what is happening, I gave you already some options.

Hello, im trying to flash back Android in the nand, but i can't seem to be able to put the motherboard in maskrom mode. any help would be appreciated.

Hello there. I have more or less the same request as @tmb I bought Helios64 when it came out and had to stop using it when the core team shut down in 2021. Since 2021, all storage has been managed by my Proxmox server. But I'm currently thinking about upgrading the hardware of my PC and my Proxmox server. And my Helios64 is still there, not being used for anything, which is a shame. Do you think that in 2025, we will be able to use the Helios64 as a NAS server for “family” storage and homelab storage needs ? If so, with which OS / App? Lastest Armbian / Openmediavault ? Thank you.
