IPv6 in Docker containers

Hi all,

I'm trying to spin up some Docker containers in my lab, it works great but I can't figure out how to enable IPv6. My EVE-NG host has IPv6 enabled.

If I create a Docker container from the CLI the container has IPv6 enabled. If I create a Docker container (from the same Docker image) through the EVE-NG web gui, IPv6 is disabled. If I try to enable it with sysctl I get an error message about it being a read-only file system.

Is there a startup script that disables it? Any setting I need to change? Any other ideas?

Hello,
If the built-in Docker images provided by EVE-NG do not have IPv6 enabled, you can create a custom Docker image that includes the necessary configurations to enable IPv6. Start with a base Docker image and add the required settings for enabling IPv6 support. Then, use that custom Docker image when creating containers through the EVE-NG web GUI.
