My own ipv6 tips for servers
Here you'll find configuration for both ipv4/ipv6 accesses on some servers I personally use.
SSH
add to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
ListenAddress ::
Lighttpd
add this to your main lighttpd configuration file:
server.use-ipv6 = "enable" $SERVER["socket"] == "0.0.0.0:80" { # listen on all ipv4 interfaces. }
vsftpd
you'll have to run to different instances of vsftpd, one for ipv4, and one for ipv6.
- /etc/vsftpd.conf:
listen=YES
- /etc/vsftpd_ipv6.conf:
listen=NO listen_ipv6=YES
Then run each instance separately:
# /path/to/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf # /path/to/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd_ipv6.conf
qmail
compile ucspi-tcp (a.k.a. tcpserver) with ipv6 support.
dovecot
for each “protocol” section in /etc/dovecot.conf, insert the following lines:
listen = *,[::] ssl_listen = *,[::]
of course, ssl_listen have to be used only if you use SSL version of the protocols (that is, imaps or pop3s).
netfilter
remember that ipv6 needs icmp to work, so you have to enable it:
# ip6tables -A INPUT -p icmpv6 -j ACCEPT
Packet Filter
remember that ipv6 needs icmp to work, so you have to enable it. add this to /etc/pf.conf:
pass proto ipv6-icmp all
MySQL
as stated here, you need at least MySQL v5.5.x for ipv6 to work.
