Configure a static IP address

To configure a static IP address for the Bitnami virtual machine:

• Log in to the server console.

• Obtain the network interface name using the command below. Typically, the interface name is of the form enXXXX. Note the virtual machine’s IP address associated with the interface.

    $ sudo ifconfig
  

• Create a configuration file for the network interface in the /etc/systemd/network directory. In this example, assume that the new configuration file is named 25-wired.network:

    $ cd /etc/systemd/network
    $ sudo touch 25-wired.network
  

• Edit the new configuration file and update it to look like the configuration below. Replace the INTERFACE-NAME, HOST-IP-ADDRESS and GATEWAY-IP-ADDRESS placeholders with the name of the network interface, the host IP address obtained previously, and the gateway IP address, as shown in the example.

    [Match]
    Name=INTERFACE-NAME
  
    [Network]
    Address=HOST-IP-ADDRESS
    Gateway=GATEWAY-IP-ADDRESS
  

  Here is an example screenshot:

  

• Save your changes and restart the networking service for the changes to take effect:

    $ sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd.service
