[SOLVED] Alpine 3.7 - ifup: unknown method "auto"

[ferllings]

Hello,

On a fresh install of Linux Alpine 3.7. The network is down and I can't start it:

# ifup eth0
ifup: unknown method "auto"

# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface lo inet6 loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.6
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        hostname $(hostname)

iface eth0 inet6 auto

Any idea?

The part with:

iface eth0 inet6 auto

seems wrong (see https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Configure_Networking)

Thanks,

That was it. I was focusing on ipv4 and forgot ipv6
