Networking and servers • Re: Too many dhcp6 leases in logs?

Hey pi-anazazi, thanks for the answer.

ipv6 is a pain and hardly controllable. Add to /boot/config.txt kernel boot line:

Code:

ipv6.disable=1

and reboot.

I guess you mean cmdline.txt instead of config.txt . Also, these files are placed in /boot/firmware/ nowadays, at least on my pi 5.


This works, but then my docker containers start complaining in the log (see below), so I reverted it.

With

Code:

sudo nmtui

you can edit the network interfaces and disable ipv6 for each manually.

I tried the nmtui method to disable ipv6 for the two specific networks (eth0 and wlan0) and it seems like it works. The logs are clear from ipv6 lease entries and also from dockerd complaints, as the network docker0 can have its own ipv6 lease.

Thanks! I'll try like this for a while and see if it really is stable and functioning.

I wonder though, why does something like this happen in the first place...
