Deploying to IPv6-Only Hetzner with Kamal and Ansible
uncomplicated.systemsThere's been a few post recently on the adoption of IPv6, and I've had the chance to try out what's involved in getting an IPv6-only VPS working as part of a recent project, in an effort to save 50¢ a month...
In all, it works, and if you get stuck the nat64 service really saves the day.
I am keen to hear if there's anything I could improve too. I did use Claude to help with feedback, but found it really got stuck on getting things right in some of this space.
thanks for the post.
did you reach out to honeycomb regarding the issue?
also one other trick it to use a cf warp tunnel to get v4.
No, but I will, can imagine I'd be more successfully that asking for the same on ghcr.io!
And thanks, good to have an alternative to nat64. Touch wood though, so far it's been solid! And did my best to compress and cut what actually goes through it.
tip about ghcr.io, you only need to add NAT to the docker endpoint, their blob endpoint have v6.
I have blog about that, if you are interested: https://blog.miyuru.lk/ipv6-docker-registries-2025/#github-c...
Thank you!
