NETPLAN-SET(8)

✨ netplan-set(8) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the netplan-set page from the System Manager's Manual — and it's literally the tool that writes your Netplan YAML config snippets to file. tiny tool, big main character energy. let's go 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

netplan-set — write Netplan YAML configuration snippets to file 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

netplan [--debug] set -h|--help

netplan [--debug] set [--root-dir=ROOT_DIR] [--origin-hint=ORIGIN_HINT]
[key=value]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

netplan set [key=value] writes whatever key/value pair — or whole YAML subtree — you hand it into a YAML file living in /etc/netplan/, and then it validates the format. like, it checks its own work, we love a self-aware icon ✨

you can pass a single value like this:

"[network.]ethernets.eth0.addresses=[1.2.3.4/24, 5.6.7.8/24]"

or a full subtree, like this:

"[network.]ethernets.eth0={dhcp4: true, dhcp6: true}"

🫶 for the deets on what the config file format actually looks like, go peek at netplan(5) — it's giving reference material, iykyk.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — prints basic help. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🙈
• --debug — prints debugging output while the thing is running. for when you wanna see the receipts 🔥
• --root-dir — writes the YAML files into this root instead of /. like, redirecting home base ✨
• --origin-hint — gives your config file a name, for example: 70-netplan-set => /etc/netplan/70-netplan-set.yaml. naming your child, iconic 👑
