The IPv6 HELL

About IPv6

Can I have a server IPv6 only ?

Can I have a server IPv6 only ?

• Wait, I want to clone github repository...
• Wait, I want to install a custom package repository
• Someone listening to me ???
• Oh. I can't access to my server. Thanks Orange.

My stack is not made for IPv6 only containers.

LXC containers in Proxmox with LXC IPv6 only and be able to route on them ? No.

Route to the right container !

• Handle IPv6, DNS side
• NAT for the most part
• HAProxy for the other part

Why I want Configuration management ?

• Track changes
• Consistency
• Deploy easier
• Disaster plan
