Network configuration with netplan fails in Packet environment

[gauravgahlot]

Expected Behaviour

The network configuration with netplan should complete without an error.

Current Behaviour

Currently, the network configuration fails with the following error:

root@iad2-c2:~/tink# ./generate-envrc.sh enp5s0f1 > envrc
root@iad2-c2:~/tink# source envrc 
root@iad2-c2:~/tink# ./setup.sh

Possible Solution

• This seems to be a bug with netplan discussed here.
• Adding a step to install netplan.io fixes the problem.

  apt install -y netplan.io

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

• Create a server in Packet environment and change the network type to Hybrid.
• Connect to the server, install git, and clone tink repository.
• Install docker, and docker-compose.
• Generate envrc with ./generate-envrc.sh enp5s0f1 > envrc (replace the interface name).
• Run set script ./setup.sh

Your Environment

Packet environment with:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Class - c2.medium.x86
• Facility - Ashburn (IAD2)

Netplan fixed it and it will be rolled to newest distributions. Also, the problem is now documented in this issue and it has a solution that I hope will help the community.

Closing this issue.
