Set static IP from the web UI

Open mtlynch opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

We've gotten several requests for letting the user specify a static IP from the web UI.

There's a way to do it if you SSH in, but it's a bit difficult at it involves editing config files. It would be helpful if we could offer a way to do this through the web UI.

TrueNAS does this in an interesting way in that it applies the static IP but then reverts the change if the user doesn't confirm within a timeout period (similar to changing monitor resolutions). This protects the user from a situation where they accidentally screw up networking settings and lock them out of their device.

We now have a convenience script for setting a static IP, but we're now getting even more requests for a way to do this in the web UI, so prioritizing this higher.
