So I am about to be forced by my ISP to change the one and only IP that is assigned to my eth0 interface. I run typical set of features like LAMP, Postgre, Postfix/Dovecot etc.
Do I need to perform any actions or changing the Network Interface is enough?
I’ve been browsing Virtualmin Forums Archive and there was no clear instruction on how to proceed with such event. You are forced to replace your main IP. What do you do in Virtualmin?
Nothing in the docs, nothing in the forums. I guess installing fresh instance is the way it seems…
this is just a quick guess. You might need to have both IPs on at the same time to keep access?
On the Virtualmin tab go to Server Configuration / Change IP Address
On that screen you will see where you can change your internal and external IP addresses.
Example: Lets say you were hosting at a provider at 47.5.225.39 but you are shutting down the online host to host it locally on your own network and that address is 192.168.1.100
All you would do is open up that panel I listed above and enter the 192.168.1.100 into the current ip address and then down on the external address you would click the button that says “same as real address” and that will do it.
