DHCP6 template

[SamTzu]

Does any1 know of good DHCP server LXC template?

Just curious: Why do you need a DHCP server for IPv6? There are other possibilities

How would you handle it?

Depends on what you want. IPv6 local network just works out-of-the-box due to the MAC-to-IPv6 conversion. If you want to forward a prefix from your router, your router normally has the advertising service for this, so the MAC-to-IPv6 conversion still takes place, but with a non-local prefix. The other solution would be to use a real DHCPv6 server as you want to know, but I do not see any benefits there, do you?

Does this mean that the Proxmox host automatically hands down the IPv6 address somehow?

No, PVE is a hypervisor and has nothing to do with providing network infrastructure.

Hopefully this helps you to understand what your guest does:

So not really out-of-the-box then.
DHCP on IPv4 was easy to implement on WAN but DHCP6 is a real pain.
