[SOLVED] Where to enable Network Bridge on Boot

I need to create a bridge for my virtual machine.
I get my IP adress from dhcpcd and execute a shell script before starting the VM.
However i would like to do this at boot time.
Ideally before my br0 gets an ip adress, because if it already has the ip adress assigned i have to restart the dhcpcd.service

My question: Is there a special file to set the iproute2 commands to create the bridge ?
Is using a systemd service the best method or is there another ?
