Thanks.

Second try, I got this to work on Ubuntu 20.1. I found the use of your-server-ip a little confusing. You actually just out in the ip address.

On Ubuntu 20.10 you will also have to adjust netplan.

I followed the tutorial step by step and it all went off w/o even a hiccup.

Thanks for taking the effort to install such a meaningful server enhancement.

Thank You, So Very Much
