Public bug reported: On bionic, setting the network interface up (e.g. eno1) with DHCP now causes a /run/netplan/eno1.yaml and a /run/net-eno1.conf file to be written. The former gets imported by netplan after boot and causes the DHCP lease from the initrd to be around forever, which I think goes against the intent of DROPBEAR_IFDOWN=*.
I have brewed up a workaround script that lives in /etc/initramfs- tools/scripts/init-bottom/hack-delete-netif-netplan.sh for now: #### ---- 8< cut >8 -------- #!/bin/sh PREREQ="" prereqs() { echo "$PREREQ" } case "$1" in prereqs) prereqs exit 0 ;; esac . /scripts/functions log_begin_msg "Deleting all network configuration that systemd could try to import" rm /run/net-*.conf rm /run/netplan/*.yaml log_end_msg #### ---- 8< cut >8 -------- I think that dropbear-intiramfs's init-bottom script should do this in addition to downing the interfaces that it finds via the DROPBEAR_IFDOWN pattern.
