Hi folks,

it would be nice if `static-networking` would support the  pointopoint
or peer parameter. This one is required to get IPv4 at Hetzner Cloud.

The relevant ip statement is:
ip address add IPv4/32 dev eth0 peer 172.31.1.1
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is this functionality already implemented by guile-netlink? If yes, I
could try to add this feature to our static-networking-service-type :)

~Jonathan

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

It was not supported in guile-netlink, so I added support for #:peer and other new arguments in addr-add and addr-del. There's no release yet, but I'd be glad if you could check it works as expected (--with-latest=guile-netlink should work).

Thanks for the fast implementation in guile-netlink! Didn't know how to
use `--with-latest=guile-netlink` in that context so I updated the package:

That was the easy part. The part in gnu/services/base.scm seems to be a
bit over my Guile/gexp skills. And I couldn't find a proper source to
copy-and-paste-and-adapt :P

Perhaps we also need to update <static-networking> and related code in
(gnu services base) to expose that?

Yes, otherwise we won't be able to use that in static-networking.
