interface/network scripting - how to?
Current situation: debian laptop with interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces + resolvconf package and bunch of scripts wchich configures network (routes and name resolving) according to interfaces/vpn up down. For example 1. I am connected to home1 network (connected by wifi, no default routing ), this network sets routing to some subnets with dhcp option 121 (and dhclient scripts handles this) 2. I am connected via etch to router with default gateway 3. I am connected to work1 network via openvpn tunnel. 4. I am connected to work2 network via ipsec gateway. I want to (and with my current config this is done) that: 1. proper routes are established (especially these with option 121) 2. name resolving is properly configured: ie. home1.tld DNS queries are passed to home1 network work1.tld DNS queries are passed to work1 network (via openvpn tunnel) work2.tld DNS queries are passed to work2 network (via ipsec tunnel) I am quite happy with my current config but sometimes I can read that /etc/network/interfaces is "deprecated" in favor of systemd-networkd or netplan.

Then the dodgy drive can be written over and I can decide whether to scrap it. Meanwhile I have a nice laptop with Debian 11.1 installed. If the desktop system fails I move the SD card to the laptop and carry on work as if nothing happened. The desktop system can be resurrected when convenient. > I hope none, because you use RAID. Being ignorant about RAID I had to read here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID No doubt invaluable for a server with a large quantity of dynamic data. For my work the SD card and spare machine seem adequate. When the desktop system crashes I can lose a few hours of editing or an emessage. It's tolerable. Thanks,...

I.e. those who have a dozen VM at most, a single "server" to host them, and said "server" is most probably translates to a localhost. I don't see all that as a bad thing, but each GUI has its share of limitations once it comes to managing something in big quantities, and both GNOME boxes and Virt Manager follow that principle. > Installing some -gnome packages still doesn't make me a GNOME user ;) But installing them gives you a pile of GNOME core packages by dependency. Thus the software in question behaves the way GNOME developers want it to behave, and the dependent software does it too. #768376 is a fine example of that. Thus I have bad news for you - installing either GNOME boxes or Virt Manager (or other GNOME stuff) made you GNOME user, but if you insist you're not - I won't press it ;) For the record, for me both "GNOME" and "GNOME user" does not have a negative connotation. About the only flaw of GNOME project for me is their abuse of Scrum software development methodology, and that's a topic for another discussion. Reco
