Droplet created from personal custom image

Posted on October 5, 2020

Hello everyone! :) So I have created a droplet with Ubuntu 20, I have installed apache, mysql, php and everything I need… I made it work perfectly as I need it.

Then I decided to create a image by following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-an-image-of-your-linux-environment-and-launch-it-on-digitalocean

And everything worked fine, I uploaded the image to spaces I used the image to create a new droplet.

New droplet is created, however I cannot reach it via IP (winSCP or browser or ping)… however I can SSH to it via DigitalOcean console…

So I guess the problem is somehow in IP not assigned properly in server configuration?

I tried searching for a solution for over 20 hours and I tried many things… with no success… :(

If anyone could help me out I would be grateful! :)

Thank you in advance!

Hi, Check if you can see your droplet’s public IP address assigned to any network interface

sudo ip address

and what is a gateway (via) and network interface (dev) for default routing

sudo ip route

Check if you can ping the gateway from outside and inside your droplet.

Hi,

Late last night (attempt #84593484) :D I managed to setup the static IP and it’s working so far.

I have this in netplan

network:
    version: 2
    renderer: networkd
    ethernets:
        ens3:
            dhcp4: no
            addresses:
              - 142.93.150.177/20
            gateway4: 142.93.144.1
            nameservers:
                addresses:
                - 8.8.8.8
                - 1.1.1.1

However my other DigitalOcean generated droplets have network such as:

network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
        eth0:
            addresses:
            - 167.99.91.233/20
            - 10.16.0.5/16
            gateway4: 167.99.80.1
            match:
                macaddress: 2a:e6:19:8a:a1:1f
            nameservers:
                addresses:
                - 67.207.67.2
                - 67.207.67.3
                search: []
            set-name: eth0
        eth1:
            addresses:
            - 10.106.0.2/20
            match:
                macaddress: 9a:98:f8:9a:8d:da
            nameservers:
                addresses:
                - 67.207.67.2
                - 67.207.67.3
                search: []
            set-name: eth1

So in network I have manually generated I’m missing eth1 and the nameservers are public ones, is that bad or that configuration is ok? The missing ethernet port is also ok or?
