new Ubuntu 18.04 LXC Templates - using netplan instead of ifupdown

network bridging for ubuntu in documentation, antsle, and edgelinux need to be updated with instructions for netplan configuration.

This link can guide you through the basics of Netplan: https://www.linux.com/learn/intro-to-linux/2018/9/how-use-netplan-network-configuration-tool-linux

If you are trying to add a DHCP interface that can be accessed by other hosts on your network:

Edit /etc/netplan/10-lcx.yaml to look like the following:

network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    eth0: {dhcp4: true}
    eth1: {dhcp4: true}

You can test your configuration with the following command:

sudo netplan try

if everything works, you can then apply the configuration:

sudo netplan apply

thanks for your reply..... I have dealt with it myself for my purposes..... My point, is that the Official Antsle Documentation for network bridging needs to be updated.

I'd like to bump this topic because I can't get it to work. I've been googling a lot and netplan isn't a very intuitive tool. It's also not installed by default on the ubuntu_1804_LNX antlet template.

I've tried the simple steps provided above by @captainmccrank, but it didn't work for me.

Is there anybody who has gotten this to work and is willing to share their easy-to-follow steps?

Thanks!

@jwdenzel

I was able to get this to work. I'm guessing when you set it up as above you have multiple default routes? That was my problem, and the extra default route prevented me from connecting directly to my antlet from anywhere outside my local network.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ip route list
default via 10.1.1.7 dev ens3 proto dhcp src 10.1.1.11 metric 100
default via 192.168.1.1 dev ens8 proto dhcp src 192.168.1.15 metric 100
10.1.1.0/24 dev ens3 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.1.11
172.17.0.0/16 dev docker0 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.0.1 linkdown
172.19.0.0/16 dev br-25a85cdd81e9 proto kernel scope link src 172.19.0.1
192.168.1.0/24 dev ens8 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.15
192.168.1.1 dev ens8 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.1.15 metric 100
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$

I was able to solve this problem by setting up netplan to ignore routes from dhcp on the ens3 interface:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
network:
ethernets:
ens8:
dhcp4: true
ens3:
dhcp4: true
dhcp4-overrides:
use-routes: false
version: 2
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$

This removed the extra route and I was able to connect to my antlet from outside.

For anyone else searching the forums: I found the new documentation updated for this. Here is the new link: https://docs.antsle.com/networking/bridge
