[13:25] <Pimmetje> I used ubuntu, now i want to have netplan on a fresh debian 11 machine. So i installed netplan.io. But doing netplan apply does not seem to do anything after i installed a yml file in /etc/netplan. Is there something else i need to do. Any docs on this?
[14:08] <tomreyn> Pimmetje: the generated configuration is probably in /run/netplan/ - you may need to make networkd/NM use it.
[14:08] <tomreyn> (i'm not a netplan developer)
[14:09] <Pimmetje> All help is welcome :). /run/netplan does not exist
[14:17] <tomreyn> i'll have a look at an ubuntu 20.04 server (to see how things are glued together there) shortly
[14:26] <tomreyn> Pimmetje: i was wrong, there is no /run/netplan
[14:26] <tomreyn> do you intend to use NM or s-n or both?
[14:29] <tomreyn> the ubuntu 20.04 server system has /run/NetworkManager/conf.d/netplan.conf (which is basically empty).
[14:29] <tomreyn> it has /run/network/dynamic-interfaces which is generated by cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf and contains "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" lines.
[14:30] <tomreyn> it also has /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-enp0s3.network which is the actual s-n configuration file in use.
[14:30] <tomreyn> Pimmetje: ^
[16:46] <Pimmetje> tomreyn thx, i have not found how to get it working on debian. If anyone has some docs on it i would love to see them. Here is someone with a similar question https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/696099
