Static ip for ubuntu

This step is Deprecated. instead of using a Static IP, it is better to use avahi-daemon

Also, the instructions below don't work on ubuntu 19.04

The file to use on 19.04 is: /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

I want my tvheadend server to use a static IP address. So, each raspberry pi running kodi/osmc can be set up using this IP address.

Step 1. Create a static IP address

Open a terminal window on a MacBook and ssh into the tvheadend server

Edit the following file

$ sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

with these contents:

# This file sets a static IP address for the TVheadend server.

# YAML does not like tabs. Use spaces and use them consistently

#

# The device name (enpes0) is found by running either of the following commands:

# $ ip a

# $ ifconfig -a

#

# Changes to other files are required.

#

# To disable cloud-init's network configuration capabilities, write a file

# $ sudo nano /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg

#

# network: {config: disabled}

#

# After any changes to these files, run the command:

# $ sudo netplan apply

#

# If there are issues, then run the command:

# $ sudo netplan --debug apply

#

# The nameservers below are the one's used by my gateway (Broadband tab, Status tab)

# Google's dns servers can be used

# addresses: [8.8.4.4, 8.8.8.8]
