Ajenti v2.0 Network Plugin not work correctly

[meishao]

This network plug-in is completely not finished.
The default is to read the configuration file from /etc/netplan to obtain IP information. If the network card defaults to DHCP, it doesn't work at all.
Network configuration editor is also not done.
Can this problem be solved in the future?

Hi @meishao

Yes you are right, it was already mentioned and it's on my todo list.

Hi,

I made some research, and netplan is written in Python, bringing its own configmanager.
It's possible to use it simply with :

import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/share/netplan/netplan')
from configmanager import ConfigManager
c = ConfigManager()
c.parse()
print(c.__dict__)

This works under Ubuntu.
But changing the network configuration while being connected to Ajenti may be a bad idea.

I need some details here, because on a standard installation from Ubuntu 20.04 with netplan, I do not have any problem : I mean that the plugin shows the ip even with DHCP config, and I can enable/disable the interface.
But it's not possible to edit anything in the netplan config file, that's still a big todo.
