How to configure static IP address on Alpine Linux

To configure a static IP address on Alpine Linux, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Edit the network configuration file, /etc/network/interfaces, and add the following lines, replacing <interface> with the name of your network interface and <static IP address>, <netmask>, and <default gateway> with the appropriate values for your network:

auto <interface>
iface <interface> inet static
    address <static IP address>
    netmask <netmask>
    gateway <default gateway>

2. Save the changes to the configuration file and exit the text editor.

3. Restart the network service to apply the changes:

systemctl restart networking

4. Verify that the static IP address has been correctly configured by using the ip command:

ip addr show <interface>

Alternatively, you can use the ifconfig command to view the network configuration:

ifconfig <interface>
