    For Netplan-based stuff, this looks similar:

    I recently had to switch ISPs to one that doesn't do IPv6 for FTTH (but their smart offerings are (AFAICT) IPv6-only), but my previous IPv6 did, and activating it for my home network was a couple clicks on my Asus router.

    I'm not sure how far back you want to go, but you can install the ifupdown package and remove netplan.io. But, even in Ubuntu 16, they were starting to phase it out. So, you're going to hit some bugs here.
  • Ubuntu 22.04 Netplan gateway4 deprecated
    1 project | /r/u_OliviaV1990 | 24 Jul 2023
    I was working with my Ubuntu 22.04 server and configuring my network with Netplan. After executing the Netplan apply command, I got an error message like the following:

    The interfaces on omv are managed by netplan. https://netplan.io/
  • Setting up private network with a gateway

    This is because Ubuntu Desktop uses NetworkManager to manage all the network interfaces by default. It is the application responsible for network management via UI. This is not the case in Ubuntu Server which I will be using. The documentation can be found here NetworkManager It can be completely turned off by choosing a different renderer or a specific networking interface can be excluded from under management of NetworkManager. The configuration is in the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. On UI less versions like Ubuntu Server there is no NetworkManager installed. The default network renderer is systemd-networkd. In both flavours of Ubuntu the networking configuration is done via Netplan and the configuration for Netplan is stored in yaml file in the location /etc/netplan/*.yaml. There could be more than one configuration file. More information on this are to be found in the provided link.

    Use debian testing and simply install omv on top of that. You can install omv on top of any linux distro, here is how you can do that: https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/docs/blob/master/Adden-C-Installing_OMV5_on_32-bit_i386.pdf I wouldn't use debian testing on a headless system as a lot of things can go wrong, so I don't recommend this option.
  • Need ideas for data backup
    1 project | /r/OpenMediaVault | 18 Jan 2021
    What you could do as you have suggested is to use 2 for data and 2 for rsync the advantage with that is if one of the data drives failed and you needed to stay up them it would be a case of reconfiguring the shares, there is information on this in the guide
