Public bug reported:
Hi,
I just tested a beta release of 18.04 and read the release notes and
found ifupdown to be replaced by netplan.io.
This does not look like production-ready, the documentation is
insufficient, especially about migration from earlier ubuntu versions.
- There's a file /etc/netplan/01-network-manger-all.yaml, which just
says that all devices are managed by NetworkManager. But the
Networkmanager just offers configuration for Hardware and VPN, not for
bridges. Although I found some syntax hints in the internet, it is
anything but obvious what ubuntu's intended clean way of configuring
virtual interfaces, bridges and things like that is.
- There is no hint about what happens with /etc/network/if*.d scripts. Are they
still executed? Should one make a /etc/Networkmanager/dispatcher.d script out
of it? Or rather a systemd service?
There are still some packages coming with /etc/network/if*.d scripts.
Will these work or are these packages broken then?
- Both Networkmanager and systemd have limitations and problems and
cause trouble. What happens if one installs ifupdown? Will that break
anything?
- What if I need to remove Networkmanager/get rid of it? The documention says
systemd can be used as a renderer option. Does that work?
regards
