This package includes the important tools for controlling the network
subsystem of the Linux kernel. This includes arp, ifconfig, netstat,
rarp, nameif and route. Additionally, this package contains utilities
relating to particular network hardware types (plipconfig, slattach,
mii-tool) and advanced aspects of IP configuration (iptunnel, ipmaddr).
.
In the upstream package 'hostname' and friends are included. Those are
not installed by this package, since there is a special "hostname*.deb".
This might have been sufficiently solved for some people but none of the answers worked right away for me I was trying to build an ubuntu image so this is the dockerfile i used that worked and isntalled ifcondig with the net-tools:
Once you have created your docker with ubuntu latest or any of version image and crated a ubuntu container, you have to run your ubuntu container and install the following for the basic networking command,
You need to run apt-get update first to download the current state of the package repositories. Docker images do not include this to save space, and because they'd likely be outdated when you use it. If you are doing this in a Dockerfile, make sure to keep it as a single RUN command so that caching of the layers doesn't cache an old version of the update command with a new package install request:
netstat is provided by the net-tools package,net-tools is probably not installed by default in the Docker image for Ubuntu 16.04 to keep the image size as small as possible.Execute the following commands inside docker container:
Is there a way to transfer a .deb package, such as this: -main-arm64/net-tools_1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1_arm64.deb.htmlinto my VM, then run sudo dpkg -i packet_name to install it without having to use Internet at all?
You can use apt-offline to prepare a list of packages that need to be installed so that you can install the software you want, then transfer that list to a machine with internet access, download the needed packages, transfer these back to your offline VM, then install them there.
After installing the openvpn-as package, take note of the Admin UI and Client UI addresses as well as the randomly generated password for your administrative user openvpn. These display on screen similar to this example:
The recommended method to install the OpenVPN Access Server is to use the official OpenVPN Access Server software repository. You will need to be logged on to your Linux system either on the console or via SSH, and have root privileges. Then copy and paste the commands below to add the repository to your system, and install the OpenVPN Access Server client bundle and the OpenVPN Access Server package itself. Installing the package 'openvpn-as' will automatically pull in the required client bundle as well.
If for some reason you can or will not use the recommended installation via the official OpenVPN Access Server software repository, you can instead download the packages separately to your server and install them. You will need to be logged on to your Linux system either on the console or via SSH, and have root privileges. Then copy and paste the commands below to download the necessary package installer files and install the OpenVPN Access Server client bundle and the OpenVPN Access Server package itself. You may also use the buttons below to download the package files manually to your computer.
