Description

emis-access just manages users, no services.

However, it does need to ensure that its network routing is configured to use its assigned static IP for all outbound traffic.

This looks like adding the following to /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml config for eth0:

          routes:
              # as per https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/reserved-ips/how-to/outbound-traffic/
              - to: 0.0.0.0/0
                via: 10.16.0.1

It may be that emis network access is changing, and we won't need this

Research direction

Start by checking whether emis network access still requires the outbound route, then locate how /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml is managed for eth0. Compare the configuration with the linked DigitalOcean guidance; done means the route is applied when still needed, or the issue is documented as unnecessary if networking has changed.
