Static IP

Setting a Static IP Address

Setting a static IP for your RoninDojo makes it reliably reachable on your local network. This prevents your router from rotating the RoninDojo’s IP address, for example after a router power cycle.

Disable the Network Manager service.

sudo systemctl disable --now NetworkManager.service

Display your current IP address.
Terminal window
```
ip route get 1.1.1.1 | awk '{print$7}'
```
Display your network interface name.
Terminal window
```
ip route get 1.1.1.1 | awk '{print$5}'
```
Display your gateway.
Terminal window
```
ip route get 1.1.1.1 | awk '{print$3}'
```
Create the system network directory.
Terminal window
```
sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/network
```
Create the network configuration file.

Replace eth0 with the interface name from step 3.
Terminal window
```
sudo nano /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network
```
Add the configuration below, then save (Ctrl + O) and exit.

Replace the Name, Address, and Gateway values with the output from steps 2, 3, and 4.
```
[Match]
Name=eth0

[Network]
Address=192.168.1.21
Gateway=192.168.1.1
DNS=8.8.8.8
DNS=8.8.4.4
```

Enable the new network service.

sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-networkd.service
