@zrail @alexthesortofok I got the same for FF mobile, with a working v6 setup (IPv6-mostly network).
curl etc. work fine.
On regular FF on desktop it would throw up server not found.
BUT this seems to be FF doing "https only mode" even when I tried to force the scheme to http. If I disable the "https only" mode it works fine for FF mobile and desktop.
FF mobile saying "address not found" is a weird / wrong error message here, imho, as I got the same when "https only" was enabled for FF mobile.
@litchralee_v6 for sure.
Docker's networking model and associated concepts are frequently that stumbling block for me. Whenever I would be fighting some part of the networking, invariably that "swimming upstream" was precisely because of the assumptions in the networking design based on the target user base and intended use cases. What I would see as limitations and frustrating constraints were not accidents or chance but the logical outcomes from those starting points.
This is one of those things that should have been obvious, but I just schlepped along with it until it finally got annoying enough to fix.
Docker networking things!
Docker does have some docs for IPv6 networking for a bit now that's been not quite as terrible as it used to be. To be clear: It's still standard docker things so "NAT ALL TEH THINGS," but at least you'll get IPv6 connectivity.
So I'd followed https://docs.docker.com/engine/daemon/ipv6/ to:
Basically:
{
"ipv6": true,
"fixed-cidr-v6": "<your ULA base>::/64",
"default-address-pools": [
{ "base": "172.17.0.0/16", "size": 24 },
{ "base": "<your ULA>::/56", "size": 64 }
]
}
However, if you're using compose for things, you still will not get IPv6 by default and will need to create an explicit IPv6-enabled network in your compose specification and then add that network to all of your containers.
The missing bit was actually changing the default settings of the bridge network driver in the Docker daemon config. This took a bit of hunting around, but the option is com.docker.network.enable_ipv6. So, add:
"default-network-opts": {
"bridge": {
"com.docker.network.enable_ipv6": "true"
}
}
For a full config like:
{
"ipv6": true,
"fixed-cidr-v6": "<your ULA base>::/64",
"default-address-pools": [
{ "base": "172.17.0.0/16", "size": 24 },
{ "base": "<your ULA>::/56", "size": 64 }
],
"default-network-opts": {
"bridge": {
"com.docker.network.enable_ipv6": "true"
}
}
}
Huzzah! Any new docker networks, specifically including any networks from compose files, will now get IPv6 by default!
To my mutuals (and really anyone nice) living in the #Vancouver area. My wife is being offered a job in Surrey and we're having a miserable time trying to find living accommodations. Is there some secret to finding a home there for those of us who aren't millionaires? Must one abandon most of their worldly possessions and rent in order to live there? Tips and advice are welcome.

@ariadne but that's the crux, innit? The system demands a manufacturing line; an industrialized process of churning out mid rent, disposable software where "good enough is".
#NetworkManager just got #464XLAT CLAT support merged in.
IMHO this is a major step for #IPv6-only/mostly support on Linux, with NetworkManager likely being the most used network tool on Linux desktops out there.

Huge thanks to @mary who started the implementation and bgalvani who brought it over the finish line, and of course everyone else who contributed to it someway.
@ariadne honestly that post was near indistinguishable from satire. It felt like a high proof distillation of every "tech people being out of touch with reality" trope all rolled into one.

@mjg59 that just reminded me of...
There is a certain sense of satisfaction when you can push back on any ISP tech "everything seems fine" with direct time series metrics.
Is that maybe overkill for a home connection? Personally, no.
