How to Change aaPanel IP Address on Ubuntu

 

aaPanel is a popular control panel that simplifies server management. However, when you change your server's IP address, some additional steps might be required to ensure aaPanel functions properly.

Keep your panel open in the background while performing the following steps.

Here are the steps you need to follow to change the IP address of aaPanel on Ubuntu:

 

IP Change on Ubuntu

 

1. First, log in to your server via SSH.

2. After logging in, enter the following commands one by one:

 

cd /etc/netplan

sudo nano /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

(If this command doesn’t work, your netplan file path might be different. After typing cd /etc/netplan, type ls to check the path of the netplan file.)

 

A screen showing the network configuration will appear. Here, you only need to change the IP address and Gateway.

Replace the existing IP address (e.g., xxx.xxx.xxx.x/24) with your new IP address, without deleting the /24 part. Also, change the Gateway section to your new IP address's Gateway.

Example: 192.168.130.1

 

3. After making the changes, press CTRL + O to save and CTRL + X to exit the file. Then, use the command below to apply the changes:

sudo netplan apply

After applying the changes, your SSH connection might drop. Close the existing connection and reconnect to your server using the new IP address.
