Set LAN IP after install

Here is a simple screenshot documentation to get Nethserver installed AND access the servermanager:

After booting you will be greeted with this screen:

You opt for the first choice, the interactive installation. This will bring you to the next screen:

Work through these items in the order of the red dots with numbers. 1 will open this screen, select a region and click Done.

Next was the keyboard layout. I always accept defaults, they suit me:

Lastly, the network settings will need to be set:

We need to change the IPv4 settings, so we click on that tab:

We then change the method to manual:

…and enter the desired IP configuration and hit save:


You probably also want to change your hostname:

Finaly, confirm your settings and press done:

And we can now start the install:

Click ‘Set root password’ and enter a password, click done when ready:

and wait till ready.

Ready:

When it shows a logon prompt, goto the IPv4 address you entered on https and add port 980. Our example would be:

https://192.168.5.1:980 (as per your examples, dunno if I got the default gateway right) Confirm the security exception and you should end up with this:

Yes, the IP here differs, I had to change the IP to my local settings :wink:

Now logon with the root account and the password you just set and work through the final setup steps, and continue to configure your server:

(next next, nethad.pljnet.local, next next next)

…profit :wink:
