Thanks! I considered installing network manager, but the Debian wiki gave me
the impression that it isn't exactly a good idea for a server, and I didn't want
the overhead that comes with it.
Network Manager is terrible. Some of the instructions include you having
to reboot your system to make chages take.
systemd-networkd is a different software package entirely. And it works
pretty well.
It has excellent documentation and for all my use-cases at least, it has
simple and reliable way to implement them.
One essential is to completely remove NetworkManager from your system using
systemctl mask NetworkManager
And then get on with real network configuration.
You can use the old networking service, but with a fairly obscure
configuration. However, systemd-networkd works as well (and better) with
an easier configuration.
