Setting up Bridged Mode in Ubuntu Server in Virtualbox

(Note: these are primarily notes for myself, so a lot of assumptions are made based on things I already know. I may add additional relevant information in the future, I may not.)

Things that will need setting up prior to setting up bridged mode

• Set up the server like normal, sudo apt update and what not.
• Install vim as well.
• Settings for VM will need Network set up to Bridged Adapter to be able to SSH into the machine after configuration is complete.

And then setting up bridged mode in the VM...

1. test pinging google.com, it should "just work"
2. get LAN IP of host machine
   • at time of writing: 10.0.37.210
3. ls /etc/netplan/*.yaml, look for a file like eth0.yaml or 50-cloud-init.yaml
   • in this case: /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
4. cat the file to verify it's the correct one, should be something like

network:
   ethernets:
      enp0s3:
         addresses: []

5. edit the file - sudo vim /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml -- DO NOT FORGET SUDO

ethernets:
        enp0s3:
            addresses: [ 10.11.0.1/8 ]
            gateway4: 10.0.37.1
            nameservers:
              addresses: [ 10.0.37.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 ]
            dhcp4: no
