How to assign static IP to new container?

Apps and Virtualization

How do I assign a specific IP when creating a container under 25.04.2.1? DHCP currently assigns an available random 192.168.1.* address upon creation of the container. I want to use 192.168.1.201.

br0 bridge is mapped to eth0 and the container works as expected and can ping out. I’m using a debian trixie container.

Using an incus CLI command to assign (or reassign) an IP is preferred over the GUI, but I’d be grateful for either solution. Thanks much.

I’m pretty sure the answer is, “using whatever utilities/commands are available inside the container”–that’s how I did it, at least.

you have to edit

/etc/systemd/network/yournetwork name 

example config:
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
Address=192.168.2.9/24
Gateway=192.168.2.1
DNS=1.1.1.1
DNS=1.0.0.1
