[SOLVED] spice currently is IPv4 only

[hk@]

well, trying to get spice to work - and it always failed to connect to the server....

finally ending up tcpdumping on the host for port 3128...

and there we got it: IPv6 calls are not answered, while after changing to IPv4 all is fine.

probably because of this:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3128 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1880/spiceproxy

could we get this to ":::3128" please?

thx!

You should be able to get this to work by changing /etc/hosts so that the nodename resolves to the IPv6 public (or LAN, if only locally reachable) address of that node. After that restart the "pveproxy" and "spiceproxy" services to bring the change in effect. With that the node should listen on :: for all public facing sockets and thus accept both IPv6 and IPv4.

the trick is to put _hostname_ in /etc/hosts, not the FQDN of the host, but the hostname part only - now spiceproxy is dual-stack reachable.
