Netplan is a command-line utility used in modern Ubuntu versions to configure networking. You can use Python to set up netplan by creating and editing YAML configuration files.
Here’s how you can do it in a few steps:
import os
import yaml
netplan_config = {
'network': {
'version': 2,
'renderer': 'networkd',
'ethernets': {
'eth0': {
'dhcp4': True,
}
}
}
}
This configuration sets up DHCP for the eth0 network interface.
netplan_config_yaml = yaml.dump(netplan_config)
with open('/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml', 'w') as file:
file.write(netplan_config_yaml)
Note that the filename and path may vary depending on your system configuration.
os.system('sudo netplan --debug apply')
This runs the netplan command with the debug option to apply the new network configuration.
And that’s it! Your Python code has set up netplan with the network configuration you specified.
