#IPv6 support for #initramfs-utils just dropped (works at least for the “unlock full disc encryption remotely with dropbear” case, tested with busybox ip(8))

#NFS won’t work, as that still relies on klibc nfsmount which insists on resolving the server’s Legacy IP address, though.

#627164 - klibc-utils: ipconfig does not support for ipv6 - Debian Bug report logs

@mirabilos: Whoa, that phrasing is dangerous. Without the word "just" it would have meant the opposite.

Already any experience regarding the usage of #clevis (and #tang) for unlocking full disc encryption over #IPv6?

@xtaran oh, right, that phrasing could have been ambiguous. It was late…

Never heard of clevis or tang. What this does is basically hack up the initramfs configure_networking() code to also set up IPv6, and optionally deconfigure the interface before switching over to the real init(8) or systemd. (dropbear also deconfigures by default but doesn’t restore an IPv6-specific flag, of course, but both doing the deconfiguring doesn’t hurt.)
