Dynamic to Static IP Configuration Script for Ubuntu Server 24.04

Overview

This Bash script is designed to simplify the process of changing a dynamic IP address to a static IP address on Ubuntu Server 24.04.
It provides a comprehensive step-by-step walkthrough, making it user-friendly for individuals with limited technical expertise but need their Ubuntu server up and running with a static IP configuration.

Features

  • Welcome Message: Provides an initial greeting and a brief overview of the script’s functionality.
  • User Authentication: Displays the current user executing the script and prompts for confirmation to proceed.
  • Network Interface Detection: Identifies an active network interface (ensure only one connection/ethernet cable is plugged in).
  • Current Network Settings: Retrieves and displays the current IP address, netmask, gateway, and checks the status of DHCP4 and DHCP6.
  • User Input Prompts: Prompts the user to enter a new static IP, netmask, gateway, DNS servers, and hostname.
  • Netplan Configuration Management: Locates the existing netplan configuration file, creates a backup, and generates a new configuration file based on user input.
  • Apply Configuration: Prompts the user to apply the new netplan configuration. If the user chooses not to apply, the script reverts to the original configuration and terminates.
