Static IPs #253

Open rnavarro opened 1 month ago

rnavarro commented 1 month ago

Hello,

Is it possible to set a static IP for my hardware probe?

In this case it would be a static IPv4 address but the option should probably be available for both IPv4 and IPv6.

I host my probe in a colocation space and there is no DHCP server running (however SLAAC is running for IPv6)

That's a case we hadn't really considered. The probes currently rely on DHCP to get networking.

Maybe you could run your own DHCP server if that's not blocked?

An alternative would be to flash a full Linux OS, configure the networking manually and start the probe as a container.

But it's something we will consider and try to address in the future
