[pve-devel] [PATCH docs v2 1/3] pveproxy: add note about bindv6only sysctl

[Stoiko Ivanov <s.ivanov@proxmox.com>]

Seems certain hosting environments (e.g. OVH) set net.ipv6.bindv6only
to 1, which caused problems for those users after the 6.4 upgrade.

 By setting `LISTEN_IP` in `/etc/default/pveproxy` you can control to which IP
 address the `pveproxy` and `spiceproxy` daemons bind. The IP-address needs to
 be configured on the system.

+NOTE: setting the `sysctl` `net.ipv6.bindv6only` to `1` will cause the daemons
