I have a Fedora machine I'm using as a home server, without a keyboard

checks to see if there is a DHCP server on the network, and if so, grabs
an ip address from it. But if there isn't one, it assigns itself a
static address. Is this doable?

Thank you.

You could run a script at the end of the re-boot to check the IP. If
no IP has been assigned then the script could assign a static one via
the ifconfig command.
