#openwrt #letsencrypt #IPv6

Well that's annoying 🤨

I used the attended sysupgrade feature to update my #openwrt router and it's made a right mess of things! It appears to have blown away loads of my acme #letsencrypt files, and renamed the wan #IPv6 interface for some reason. It's all sorts of broken 😠

Für ihr IPv6 deployment brauchen sie wohl auch zig bis ~ 100 statische Routen, die in netplan hinterlegt sind.

Warum zum Geier?! Was ist falsch mit denen? Das _kann_ doch kein sauberes Setup sein?

(zumindest war das wohl vor einigen Jahren noch so. Aus dieser Zeit stammt die Maschine, vor der ich sitze. Keine Ahnung, wie es jetzt ist).

IPv6 RAs oder DHCP6 wenn's sein muss und gut is? ... Was muss man denn da noch groß statische v6 Routen hinterlegen ... 😫

@goetz So far I can count on ONE FINGER the number of Public Wi-Fi Hotspots that are using actual Internet standards a.k.a. #IPv6 , which is the United Airlines' In-flight Wi-Fi service powered by Starlink.

If the commercial airline industry, which is not synonymous to cutting-edge technology adoption (even though we're talking about a 30-year-old Internet standard), are already figuring this out... that's something network administrators need to think about.

Therefore I cannot access most of the services I would like to use.

If the VPN blocking via address range starts to happen how are they going to account for ipv6 networks given the vast scope of network available?

Without fail, every time an age verification law goes into effect, VPN usage surges. Instead of realizing that mass surveillance and age gates aren't exactly crowd favorites, Utah lawmakers have decided VPNs themselves are the real issue. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/utahs-new-law-regulating-vpns-goes-effect-next-week

@alpinelinux After some more tinkering tonight I found that dhcpcd is available on the standard ISO and can be apk added prior to running setup-alpine. This causes the setup to use it when specifying dhcp for the interface and it gets added to world in the installed environment.

I also edited dhcpcd.conf to set slaac hwaddr instead of private and disable ipv4 on this subnet. It worked _and_ the config was copied into the installed environment.

So yeah, I think I can make this work.

#ipv6

The lack of RDNSS support in the @alpinelinux installer is becoming an issue for my environment. Having to manually enter DNS resolvers to bootstrap any packages to read them from the network is extremely annoying.

In a previous thread someone suggested that I should just set up DHCPv6 information only. I have a number of issues with this, but mostly we already spent years fighting the 600 lb gorilla in the room (Android). As much as it irks me that they won, every other operating system can do RDNSS out-of-the-box now, and it is The Way for most non-enterprise networks.

The simplest fix would be to make rdnssd available in the installer environment. Then all of the components (udhcpc6, rdnssd, kernel autoconf) would be present. However, this means the user would then have to make the decision about which to use based on knowledge of the network. This ignores all of the necessary information provided in the Router Advertisement.

The other issue is that you now potentially have multiple entities trying to manage resolv.conf, necessitating openresolv.

Thus I feel the correct solution is to use dhcpcd in lieu of the busybox widgets. This gives DHCP(v6), SLAAC, and RDNSS all in one tool. It's not as light as the busybox versions, but light enough for the balance of the extra functionality you get IMHO. ifupdown-ng already has plumbing for it.

I wrote all this out to make sure I have all my thoughts in order. I realize I'm new to the Alpine world, so how do I start the conversation about this?

Mit welchen Geräten kann ich IPv6 verwenden? Wenn Sie Ihr Mobiltelefon nach 2016 gekauft haben, sollte es IPv6 fähig sein. Android Geräte unterstützen IPv6 bereits seit Firmware 5.0 und beinahe alle Hersteller haben seit Jahren IPv6-Funktionalitäten implementiert. Ausnahme: iOS Geräte (iPhones) ermöglichen den Parallelbetrieb von IPv4 und IPv6 (Dual Stack) nicht und werden somit von IPv6 ausgenommen. Dadurch entsteht allerdings iPhone Nutzern kein Nachteil.

@djsundog I wish I had Money so I could open up an ISP and roll out _only_ #IPv6. It would be such a troll, but also kinda necessary, it would seem.

#Internet - #IPv6 aktuelles Protokoll
#LegacyNet - #IPv4 veraltetes Protokoll

Die Quote der Internetanschlüsse in Deutschland ist bei >75% die das Internet erreichen. Platz 2 weltweit bei allen westlichen Messungen.

Deutsche ISP bieten den Zugang zum LegacyNet nur noch als IPv4-as-a-Service an. -> schlechtere/langsamere Erreichbarkeit

Jeder Dienst ohne IPv6 Support ist nicht im Internet erreichbar. IMHO

The last 24 hours have been a nostalgia roller coaster. Seeing ax25 getting removed from the Linux kernel led me to finally poking at linbpq. I ran BPQ under DOS back in the mid 90s before I switched to JNOS and learning TCP/IP, setting me on my career path. Finding out linbpq supports #ipv6 absolutely made my day! The old meets the modern in such a comfortable way.

This makes the trend among #IPv6 folk of referring to IPv4 as "legacy IP" seem downright quaint.

I could have sworn pinafore.social had #IPv6 at one point. Oh well. Trying out phanpy.social from an IPv6-only network. So far so good, though my instance's CDN reachability on IPv6 is still spotty.

The censorship at serverfault is so stupid.

The question is valid everywhere, but they block it, because "Server Fault must be about managing information technology systems in a business environment. "

#IPv6 isn't business environment?

Still one of worst it companies besides GitHub.
