Subject: [PATCH installer v2 0/9] add IPv6 SLAAC and v6-only support
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 17:57:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511155753.1623099-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
Most glaringly, neither the GUI nor TUI handled IPv6-only setups
correctly, in that the pre-filled values for the networking setup simply
defaulted to the IPv4 defaults.
Patch #1-#5 rework the installation "backend" and GUI side of things.
Patch #6 enables support for /127 and /128 IPv6 CIDRs, which we do
support elsewhere.
Finally, patch #8 enables sending router solicitations when the
installer starts, such than any IPv6 (SLAAC) configuration is retrieved.
Patches #6-#9 are independent and can be applied individually as such,
if desired.
