Folks,
I've got an Orange pi 5 plus up and running using Armbian, I've used the minimal install and although it's been plain sailing for the main part, no matter what I do I can't work out how to give it a static IP address (dynamic works fine). I've spent an hour trying:
armbian-config, - Network | IP | Static and setting it to what I want - it ignores it and when I go back in it's gone back to 127.0.0.1
This page: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Networking/
Creates the yaml file with my interface abd required address as here:
GNU nano 7.2 /etc/netplan/20-static-ip.yaml
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enP4p65s0: # Change this to your ethernet interface
addresses:
- 192.168.5.2/24
routes:
- to: default
via: 192.168.5.1
nameservers:
addresses:
- 9.9.9.9
- 1.1.1.1
Following this to get rid of the issues with netplan test
Looked high and wide for other tips but can't see anything that would help me. I'm used to Red Hat distros where you just go in and edit an existing config file, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Debian variants?
Anyone able to help me please? Been using Linux for twenty-five years so am no noob, never had a problem like this before setting a fixed IP address!
Thanks
