How to add persistent IP routes in Ubuntu 20.04 server

Solution 1:

1. Hello mate, i cannot comment so i will try to answer here.
2. There are few options to create a scheduled process to solve that problem.
3. Here are two options:
   • crontab - wich is less fitting your problem.
   • making a service - wich is fitting your problem perfectly.
   • there might be more and a better ways to solve that problem.
4. About crontab:
   • The crontab is a list of commands that you want to run on a regular schedule.
   • To add a command you want to schedule run you have to edit the crontab file with the command crontab -e.
   • you can use this site to help you calculate the interval you want to execute a specific command crontabCalculator
   • you can use this guide to figure your own crontab file crontabGuide
5. The better option for my opinion is to create your own service.
   • when you create a service you can run it just as all the other services, that means that you can enable, disable, restart, start and all other options that coming with systemctl command.
   • you have to create your service as a text file and name it myServiceName.service.
   • then you have to locate that service in /etc/systemd/system/.
   • use this guide to have a service template howToMakeAServiceGuide.
   • after creating the service and locating him in the specific directory you can enable and start him by this commands: systemctl enable serviceName.service and systemctl start serviceName.service.
   • the service should start on any reboot so it might solve your problem.
6. Edited after comments.
   • create a script with sudo nano /usr/local/sbin/SCRIPT_NAME.sh
   • example for a script with your commands:
   • #/bin/bash!
   • ip rule add from 185.230.125.107 table 128
   • ip route add table 128 185.230.125.107/32 dev eno0
   • ip route add table 128 default via 185.230.125.254
   • now give the script a execute permissions with chmod a+x SCRIPT_NAME.sh
   • now create a service with sudo nano /systemd/system/SERVICE_NAME.service
   • use that template: in the ExecStart field execute your script

Description=ROT13 demo service
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=centos
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/./SCRIPT_NAME.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

1. Edited after comments two:
2. To make sure your service is configured correctly follow this steps:
   • locate the service in /etc/systemd/system/LOCATE_HERE.service
   • give your script that running by the service the execute permission with sudo chmod a+x yourscript.sh
   • execute the command sudo systemctl daemon-reload to reload the new service.
   • execute the command sudo systemctl enable serviceName.service
   • execute the command sudo systemctl start serviceName.service
   • execute the command sudo systemctl status serviceName.service
   • if the service is running reboot your system.
   • after the reboot execute the command sudo systemctl status serviceName.service to check if the service is running.
