Fixed IP adress for the Raspberry PI

The Raspberry PI can be assigned a fixed IP adress in your LAN by editing this file:

/etc/dhcpcd.conf

first make a backup copy by typing in a terminal:

sudo cp /etc/dhcpcd.conf /etc/dhcdcp.backup

Then edit the file using nano:

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Place these lines at the bottom of the file to set the Ethernet port (eth0) to a static IP address or in the interface eth0 section (or wlan0 setcion if you use wlan):

interface eth0

static ip_address=192.168.178.72/24

static routers=198.168.178.1

static domain_name_servers=185.93.175.43 185.232.98.76

Set the address (ip_address) to the IP address you want the Raspberry Pi to occupy.

Set the routers value to the gateway address

If available, set to domain_name_servers to your name servers (e.g. pi-hole or the domain servers of your ISP)

Once the file has been updated, use ctrl x to save the file and exit nano.

now reboot to have the changes take effect:

sudo reboot
