FOOD FOR THOUGHT IPv6 compatibility - Digital Ocean, Ubuntu, Incredible PBX 13-12.2

[LSTA!]

Hi,

So I followed the instructions for Incredible PBX 13-12.2-Ubuntu-14.04 (64-bit) from http://nerdvittles.com/?p=14183

But I selected the "IPv6" checkbox when creating my Droplet. And then name resolution worked with dig, but broke with Incredible PBX, FreePBX and Asterisk.

Having an IPv6 global IP address led to issues with the update-at-login script, the FreePBX modules update screen, and while those were fixed by telling Ubuntu to prioritize IPv4 lookups over IPv6 ones, I was never able to get SIP registration in asterisk working against IPv4-only domain names. It worked fine for IPv4 addresses entered manually.

Is IPv6 configuration something more supported under RedHat-based distros, perhaps? Has anyone had success building an IPv6 box -- with globally assigned IPv6 address -- as provided, for example, by Digital Ocean?

For now, I've gone back to DigitalOcean and created a second droplet that's IPv4-only.


Louis.

Looks like what you may be after.... have not taken the plunge just yet with ipv6. Best recollection I have for asterisk is only sip supports ipv6..... Won't even comment on FreePBX........
