IPv6 may work out of the box in many cases. But in some cases or some specific provider, you may need to tweak things manually to enable IPv6.
|
|
|
|
## With a VPS from OVH
|
|
|
|
OVH gives one IPv4 address and one IPv6 address for VPS but by default, only IPv4 is OK.
|
|
The OVH's documentation is here : https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/vps/configuring-ipv6/
|
|
|
|
### Configure the DNS server
|
|
|
|
Here : https://yunohost.org/#/dns_subdomains
|
|
|
|
### Configure the server
|
|
|
|
On the OVH panel, you will copy 3 elements:
|
|
- the IPv6 address
|
|
- the IPv6 gateway address
|
|
- the IPv6 prefix. On OVH's VPS SSD, prefixes are `/128` because you have only *one* IPv6 address.
|
|
|
|
On your VPS, create a backup of the network configuration with : `cp /etc/network/interfaces ~/interfaces` in home directory.
|
|
Then, you can edit the configuration file (`/etc/network/interfaces`) with the following.
|
|
|
|
! In this example, it is assumed that your network interface is `eth0`. If it's different (check with `ip a`) you need to adapt the example below.
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
iface eth0 inet6 static
|
|
address <your IPv6 address>
|
|
netmask <your IPv6 prefix>
|
|
post-up /sbin/ip -6 route add <the IPv6 gateway> dev eth0
|
|
post-up /sbin/ip -6 route add default via <the IPv6 gateway> dev eth0
|
|
pre-down /sbin/ip -6 route del default via <the IPv6 gateway> dev eth0
|
|
pre-down /sbin/ip -6 route del <the IPv6 gateway> dev eth0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, save the file and restart the network service with : `service networking restart`. (TODO : ideally we should find a way to validate the content of the configuration, otherwise it could fuck up the network stack and get disconnected from the VPS ?)
|
|
|
|
Check your configuration with these commands :
|
|
- `ip a` to display network interfaces and addresses
|
|
- `hostname -I` to display the system IP addresses
|
|
- try to ping an IPv6 server (for example you can use `ping6 ip6.yunohost.org`)
|
|
- try to ping your server from your PC (assuming your PC has IPv6 enabled)
|
|
|
|
If it's ok, it's ok !
