Ubuntu: netplan disable dhcp

After spending X amount of hours on trying to find the fix here, I decided to just disable the dhcpcd service:

root@pro-rpi-02:~# systemctl status dhcpcd.service
● dhcpcd.service - DHCP Client Daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:dhcpcd(8)

Now everything is working like I would like it to work:

root@pro-rpi-02:~# more /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml
