Static IP on Hass.io on RPi4

Edo78 · March 14, 2020, 9:11pm

Hi, I tryed to find an answer and I found many but none it’s working nor solve my problem (so I think I have some problem searching).

I want to install the DHCP add-on on hass.io on a rpi4 and use it for my whole lan so I tryed to give it a static ip.

I found very old posts, I found posts about using a cli command “nmcli” but the terminal respond with a “command not found”, I found posts talking about editing a file in /etc/NetworkManager but I didn’t see that folder.

Too many posts and not a single solution I can apply.

I’m pretty sure I’m missing something quite obvious so here I am asking for advices.

Hi,
Official documentation is here:

github.com

home-assistant/operating-system/blob/2e7e0398996c5fb39e566e9d6d72df2975ac9f39/Documentation/network.md

# Network

## Configure Network
HassOS uses NetworkManager to control the host network. In future releases, you will be able to set up the configuration using the API/UI. Currently only a manual configuration using NetworkManager connection files is supported. Without a configuration file, the device will use DHCP by default. These network connection files can be placed on a USB drive and imported to the host as described in [Configuration][configuration-usb].

## Configuration Examples

You can read the [Official Manual][keyfile] or find many configuration examples across the internet. The system is read-only, if you don't want the IP address to change on every boot, you should set the UUID property with a generic [UUID4][uuid]. Inside `\CONFIG\network\` on the USB or SD, create a file called `my-network` and add the appropriate contents below:

### Default

We have a preinstalled connection profile:

```ini
[connection]
id=my-network
uuid=f62bf7c2-e565-49ff-bbfc-a4cf791e6add
type=802-3-ethernet

[ipv4]

Thank you very much, you really made my day.

BTW how did you found that doc? Is it linked from https://www.home-assistant.io/docs or did you just search in the github repo?

Go the the Home Assistant web page. Click on the Getting Started sub-tab at the top. Scroll down to the Installation paragraph. Step four explains the process and has links to my-network examples.

I had to build HassOS some time ago to solve issues I had. So I searched the repo and read all docs
Didn’t know that it was linked in the getting started page! Thanks @micque
