I have been trying to configure the interface IP on host (Alpine , Ubuntu, Desktop) but they disappear after reboot. How I make a persistent change? Also which of these images are the simplest-- if I want to mimic laptop/ computer machine. I tried all of them either I am unable to install default route or the changes dont go as expected.
In Alpine I have added this after following another post
"interfaces" in /etc/network/interfaces
inserthostname_here:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.253
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
and restarted> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
I still dont see IP getting reflected
