Network Configuration using netplan

I came back after 2 years – literally 2 years, look!

And some things changed… This time I’m facing new ways of network configuration but it’s simpler now!

With netplan you have a nice file with good documentation and example config files that probably have what you need after changing some IPs.

In my case I wanted to change default gateway so my PiHole could take network in its hands.

Edit default file in this directory /etc/netplan

# This is the network config written by 'subiquity'
network:
  ethernets:
    ens3:
      addresses:
        - 192.168.1.62/24
      routes:
      - to: default
        via: 192.168.1.59
        metric: 100
        on-link: true
      - to: 192.168.1.62
        via: 192.168.1.59
        metric: 100
      nameservers:
        addresses: [192.168.1.59]

To be honest all I really needed were those two lines at the end, to point DNS at PiHole but I wanted to try the hole route. And basically that’s it.

Have a nice day!
