Support for IP ranges in new defaults system #9784
Description
🌟 Briefly describe the feature
Add support for default IP ranges, similar to the one used before the overhaul
📝 Detailed description
Before the overhaul of the defaults system, it was possible to set IP range as a default for new containers, in the opt/community-scripts/.settings file, for example NET="192.168.0.100/24-192.168.0.255/24".
The script would then ping the range in order until it found a free address and use it for the container.
In the new tiered defaults system such mechanism is gone, allowing only for picking between dhcp and static, which would then have to be manually configured.
💡 Why is this useful?
Automating IP assignment like that allows to have predictable IP, related to the Container ID, with less manual configuration
