Good day all

I am using posbox 13 on a raspberry pi.  I downloaded the imagine and loaded it and it works great except that I can't set a static ip address on it. When I run ifconfig initially there was no eth01 listed although it was working over lan.  

Then after running many commands from a support article I now see it in ifconfig.  However no matter what I do to try set the address as static every time the router (and the device giving out dhcp leases) restarts the posbox gets a new ip address 


This is causing massive problems 


Please help! 


Thanks

You can set the static IP from router itself (for this MAC Address).

In case anyone needs it here the link:

https://odootips.com/ip-estática-en-posbox-8843a763216

Here an extract:

sudo ssh into raspberry (you can look the ip if you attach a monitor to it), then execute this:

sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo mount -o remount,rw /root_bypass_ramdisks
sudo nano /root_bypass_ramdisks/etc/dhcpcd.conf
ADD to the file in the last lines:

interface eth0 <--- this is the name of your card, and here the static ip is .150
static ip_address=192.168.1.150/24
static routes=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.150

after you save the changes, reboot and done.

Should be 'static routers' instead of 'static routes'

If your RPi get the IP from the DHCP, on your router/DHCP may have a feature to fix the IP to MAC address.
