Is this going to suddenly break a bunch of users who've explicitly disabled IPv6?

[aptalca]

No idea. It needs to be tested.

I'm surprised that even though we're telling it to listen on ipv6, it also listens on ipv4 but I couldn't find any documentation. Just github issue discussions.

[thespad]

Well that's just weird:

# netstat -ntlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)

$  docker ps | grep code

And both

curl -4 -sL http://localhost:8123

And

curl -6 -sL http://localhost:8123

Work. They also work inside the container so it's not just the docker NAT layer doing something odd.

[thespad]

TIL https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3493#section-3.7

Applications may use AF_INET6 sockets to open TCP connections to IPv4
nodes, or send UDP packets to IPv4 nodes, by simply encoding the
destination's IPv4 address as an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, and
passing that address, within a sockaddr_in6 structure, in the
connect() or sendto() call. When applications use AF_INET6 sockets
to accept TCP connections from IPv4 nodes, or receive UDP packets
from IPv4 nodes, the system returns the peer's address to the
application in the accept(), recvfrom(), or getpeername() call using
a sockaddr_in6 structure encoded this way.

Also https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3493#section-5.3

As stated in section <3.7 Compatibility with IPv4 Nodes>,
AF_INET6 sockets may be used for both IPv4 and IPv6 communications.
Some applications may want to restrict their use of an AF_INET6
socket to IPv6 communications only. For these applications the
IPV6_V6ONLY socket option is defined.

But that will still break with IPv4-only network stacks for obvious reasons.

[miyurusankalpa]

@thespad It will break on users who have disabled IPv6 on the kernel level, others will have no issues. Those who have will aware of the issues with messing with the default kernel values.

As IPv6 only servers are becoming common, having a middle ground is the better option.

It will be better to have a DISABLE IPv6 option for such users, as it done on the kasmvnc image.

Is this going to suddenly break a bunch of users who've explicitly disabled IPv6?

hopefully, maybe it'll teach them to stop doing silly things left over from 2004

This feature would help me. I'm embracing v6 everywhere on my network and would love to have Code Server along for the ride.

[EricSeastrand]

Sorry for the dumb question, but how can I help test this updated image? Do I just point my docker compose file to this version? amd64-4.91.1-pkg-ab8f4cb9-dev-7655e6e780d64c3c870568720211f53b4cb5814c-pr-179

I still have a few v4-only hosts in my network. Curious to see what breaks.
