Note: Name of configuration file may differ as your per setup. As it is an yaml file, so make sure to maintain Additions on Linux Mint 21

the indentation and syntax while editing.

$ cat 00-installer-config.yaml

Output,

As per above output, it says that we have ens33 interface and it is getting ip from dhcp server. Alternate way
to view interface name is via ip command.

Now, to configure static ip in place of dhcp, edit netplan configuration file using vi or nano editor and add the
following content.

$ sudo vi 00-installer-config.yaml
# This is the network config written by 'subiquity'
network:
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
ens33:
addresses:
- 192.168.1.247/24
nameservers:
addresses: [4.2.2.2, 8.8.8.8]
routes:
- to: default
via: 192.168.1.1
version: 2

save and close the file.

In the above file we have used following,

ens33 is the interface name

addresses are used to set the static ip

nameservers used to specify the DNS server ips

routes used to specify the default gateway

Note: Change the IP details and interface name as per your environment.

To make above changes into the effect the apply these changes using following netplan command,

$ sudo netplan apply

Run following ip command to view the ip address on interface,

$ ip addr show ens33

To view the default route, run

$ ip route show

Output of above commands,

···
Perfect, above commands’ output confirms that static ip and route has been configured successfully.

How do I use Netplan to set up a static IP address on WIFI?

change the network device “ens33” to something else, it will be listed when you run “ip a”;
it;s probably wlan0 but that’s not guaranteed.

Your text for configuring a static IP address does not work in my Ubuntu 20.04.5 server’s NIC. No
matter how I space or tab the indentations, I get “Ivalid YAML: inconsistent indentation: addresses:

I’ve been at the problem for a couple of weeks, with no fix in site; no spacing or tabbing change I
make fixes it. Can anyone please advise me? Thanks.

Copy paste not work here, you should try typing instead or if you paste, try to delete all the
space before each line and tab key until the same format

The spacing must be done with the space key. If you try to make spaces in a yaml file with the
tab key it will not work.
Also you should let yamllint.com correct the file for you
