[bitfolk] Disappearing netplan config on Ubuntu 22.04

Hi, This email only of interest to users of Ubuntu 22.04 and beyond. I'm just dealing with a support ticket where an Ubuntu 22.04 VM was rebooted and lost its networking configuration. For Ubuntu 22.04, initial networking (and other) configuration is baked into a "seed image" which is mounted as /dev/xvdz at first boot. cloud-init then uses that information to create a netplan config file in /etc/netplan/. This VM was found to no longer have that config, but instead only have some sort of default config that tried to use DHCP. I don't yet know how this happened. I would like to. If this happens to you, you will need to log in by the Xen Shell console and configure your networking again. Here is an example of a netplan config for BitFolk: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Ubuntu#Migrate_to_netplan After generating and applying that (with your correct details) I would expect things to be fine. If this does happen to you I would very much like to know and also if you have any insight into how your working configuration got deleted. I've only sent this to the users list (not announce@) at this stage because I have no idea what caused it or if it's likely to happen again to anyone else.
