Installing network-scripts
To disable NetworkManager on Rocky Linux 8, we need to install the network-scripts package which provides legacy support
to the network service,

yum install network-scripts

Enable the service to start onboot,

systemctl enable network

Next, we add NM_Controlled=no to the interface con g le,

nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface>

Replace with the interface name from ifcon g -a (or) ipaddr, for example in our case the interface is ens3

nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens3

Add the following line to the last line of the ifcfg-ens3 con g le,

NM_CONTROLLED="no"

Next, Stop and Disable the NetworkManager service,

systemctl stop NetworkManager

systemctl disable NetworkManager

Restart the network now via the "network" service,

service network restart

At this point, you will see the following information,

[root@server ~]# service network restart

Restarting network (via systemctl): [ OK ]

Enable the network service to start onboot,

systemctl enable network

After which you should get the following output,

[root@server ~]# systemctl enable network

network.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable network

You may reboot your VPS to test if the network comes alive on it's own via the Network service automatically onboot.

Done!
