Networking and servers • Re: How to setup static IP address on Raspberry Pi OS 64bit bookworm

There are at least two solutions:

• nmcli in Bookworm supports the --offline switch, enabling you to do configuration prior to first boot
• Configure it up online as static and with everything else you want, then save away the .nmconnection file. Only two things to fix: 1) The static IP address, and 2) the UUID, but there appears to be no issue in using the same .nmconnection file across multiple systems. So, only one thing to fix

Sorry, its still not clear.Learning what this means in practice seems complicated compared to simply copying "eth0" into /etc/network/interfaces.d while the SD card is mounted on the local computer - which takes seconds and works every time.

For example, I have just written Raspberry Pi OS to an SD card (say) on another computer (enabling ssh by creating the file "ssh" in /boot).
I then want to place the SD card in a Pi, and for that Pi to boot and be immediately accessible using existing entries in the local /etc/hosts file.
I do not want to spend ages messing with nmap trying to find the address DHCP has given it.
The local machine, by the way, might be running any reasonable OS.
