archlinux switch to bridge network

Switch from normal networking to bridged

Just after installation, you need to run networking on a traditional way in order to make initial setup (some needed packages like SSH, netctl,...)

"Traditional networking" is here to use the "ethN" or "enoZZZZZ" interface and assign an IP to that interface.

But if you want to switch to bridged one, you need to disable that traditional setting and activate the bridged one.

Traditional setting

  • Interface name: eth0
  • Address assignation: static
/etc/systemd/network/wired.network

[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network] 
DNS=192.168.128.108
[Address]
Address=192.168.129.148/23
[Route]
Gateway=192.168.128.108

Start "systemd-networkd.service"
# systemctl start systemd-networkd

To enable it at boot,
# systemctl enable systemd-networkd

Switch to bridged setting

# pacman -S netctl

/etc/netctl/lxcbridge
Description="LXC bridge"
Interface=br0
Connection=bridge
BindsToInterfaces=('eth0')
IP=static
Address=192.168.129.148/23
Gateway='192.168.128.1'
DNS=('192.168.128.150','192.168.128.108')

To disable traditional networking at boot,
# systemctl disable systemd-networkd

Enable the bridge
# netctl enable lxcbridge

Enable (also) the bridge
# systemctl enable netctl-auto@br0.service

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo&

emacs29 intelephense

Emacs 29 and PHP Intelephense I use to use Emacs and PHP Intelephense for PHP development. I recently upgraded to Emacs 29 and PHP Intelephense stopped working. I found a solution on Reddit Based on that, I rewrote my .emacs file to use eglot instead of lsp-mode, and this is the result. (use-package eglot :ensure t) (add-hook 'php-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure) (use-package php-mode :ensure t :mode ("\\.php\\'" . php-mode)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php$" . php-mode)) (provide 'lang-php) (use-package company :ensure t :config (setq company-idle-delay 0.3) (global-company-mode 1) (global-set-key (kbd "M- ") 'company-complete)) (require 'eglot) (add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs '((php-mode :language-id "php") .
