[PVE] Worker configuration does not prompt for static IPv6 address

[DrumSlayer]

Hello,

Following case #07672609, where I discussed some details about IPv6 issues with PVE and VBR, I'm here to submit something I think you forgot to implement in the rush :

When configuring Proxmox VE Worker, the Network section does only prompt for a v4, and there is no prompt for any v6 address, nor dual-stack setup.


This seems very unprofessional in 2025 to forget about IPv6, to be honest . We deprecated v4 in our infrastructure a few years ago, and run full v6 as of now.
We run VBR well on v6 networks with VMware using built-in v6 network settings and DNS resolution, and Worker are using linux, which support IPv6 for like more than two decades now

Is it planned ? Or will we have to totally abandon using Veeam in our infrastructure ? (Since we stopped using VMware in profit of PVE)

Thank you,

Hi,

We plan to do that later - there were other things with higher priorities than this one.

Btw, why bother with static IPv6 instead of a normal DHCP reservation?

Thanks!

Hello!

Nice to hear that.

We do use SLAAC on some cases, but definitely not DHCPv6.
It's weird to have the choice for v4 but nor for v6 to be honest
