Using nonetworking (static setups)

Ideally Webconverger should be deployed in a wired network with a DHCP server.

By default a Debian live distro should use live-initramfs to setup networking. However the same can be achieved by interfaces.

In recent versions of mini Webconverger the interfaces assumes the eth0 is the wired connection and the eth1 or wlan0 interface is a wireless interface. The wireless interface is configured by wpa supplicant. By default it has a convienant, though perhaps a dangerous feature to join any open wireless network.

If users are frankly too silly not to use DHCP, they need to setup a network by the interfaces rules and manipulate typically webconverger/config/chroot_local-includes/etc/network/interfaces. Let me remind you that you must have nonetworking on your config/binary LH_BOOTAPPEND_LIVE line for it to all work. For debugging an image with a static network setup, I suggest removing nonetworking to default to live-initramfs's sensible wired DHCP defaults.

Example of a static configuration customisation

webconverger/config/chroot_local-includes/etc/network/interfaces would read:

iface eth0 inet static
       address 10.100.7.230
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       gateway 10.100.7.253

And the DNS:

cat webconverger/config/chroot_local-includes/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 10.100.7.253
