Set static IP for recalbox 6.1.1

[Quardah]

Hi.

Running on 6.1.1 i am having trouble setting a static IP for the recalbox. i want to set a static ip to eth0, as simple as that.

I tried this : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Manual-IP-settings-(EN)

but after reboot the IP goes back to dhcp (i do remount as read/write)

this still remains in /etc/network/interfaces :

cat /etc/network/interfaces

Configure Loopback

auto lo
iface lo inet loopbac
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
allow-hotplug eth0
address 192.168.1.5
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255

i tried connmanctl but there is no such command installed

connmanctl services

-sh: connmanctl: command not found

i don't know what to try next.

thank you for updating the doc at the same time if you lay out the solution here thanks.

@Quardah If I'm not mistaken, since version 6.1.1, it is possible to edit the ip manually in the recalbox.conf file:

## Wifi - static IP
## if you want a static IP address, you must set all 3 values (ip, gateway, and netmask)
## if any value is missing or all lines are commented out, it will fall back to the
## default of DHCP
wifi.ip =

It is much easier now, the tutorial you are following is probably out of date.

I have the same issue, the command is not available

# find . -name connmanctl
# connmanctl services 
-sh: connmanctl: command not found

And I'm trying to set static IP for the ethernet port (not the wifi), so the paramater wifi.ip is not for me.

Hi
Just to undersand.
Why you did not keep Recalbox with Dynamic IP.
Then in your DHCP settings, your profide a fixed IP linked to MAC adress of your recalbox ?
