Raspberry PI eth0 static IP network configuration via Dashboard

This flows allows users to manually change and enable the static IP configuration of the Raspberry PI.

This flow reads configuration in /etc/dhcpcd.conf file and uses sed commands to enable static ip on eth0 interface end manually set the new static ip parameters.

If you have never edited the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file this flow will work without any problem, it expect to find something like this

#interface eth0
#static ip_address=192.168.1.xx/24
#static routers=192.168.1.xx
#static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.xx

or this

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.xx/24
static routers=192.168.1.xx
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.xx

This flow reads the entire content of the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file and starts reading line by line. Once he find the line interface eth0 or #interface eth0 it starts to store actual configuration values until he finds a line that doesn't contain static. For this reason DON'T ADD BLANK LINES OR COMMENTS to the configuration file or this flow will not work as expected

The flow will edit this file using sed so be careful and make sure you set a valid configuration before reboot your Raspberry.
