Ubuntu Server

Ubuntu server is another great linux OS for use on servers. There are a few key differences from centOS/RHEL that we aren't normally used to:

  • the IP address must be configured through the use of netplan instead. You mainly have to edit /etc/cnetplan/00-installer-config.yml with the following information:

From there you save, run "sudo netplan apply" and it should re-apply the settings and get connected with the new IP! Finally, when adding a sudo user, you simply run "sudo adduser [username]" to make the user, then "sudo usermod -aG sudo [username]" since on Ubuntu there is no wheel group but the normal sudo group.
