Description
Configure `/etc/dhcpcd.conf` on the RPi to serve a static IP address on the ethernet `eth0` interface
* IP address = `192.168.8.30`
Confirm that the IP address is correct by connecting it to a notebook via ethernet, probably with an IP address alias of `192.168.8.1` and confirm that one can SSH to the RPi using it's static address
Also test routing to internet - provided that the connected notebook is _sharing_ its internet connection and is routing traffic properly; also need the `gateway` in `/etc/dhcpcd.conf` set to use (probably) `192.168.8.1` as the gateway IP address

Research direction
Start with the RPi's /etc/dhcpcd.conf and the eth0 interface settings. Connect the RPi to a notebook over ethernet, configure the notebook with the proposed 192.168.8.1 alias, and verify SSH access at 192.168.8.30. If the notebook shares internet, test routing and confirm whether 192.168.8.1 is the required gateway.
