package_update fails on IPv6 only host: Could not resolve host: mirrors.rockylinux.org #4601

Open minfrin opened 1 year ago

minfrin commented 1 year ago

Bug report

When an IPv6 only host is started up with cloud-init under libvirt, the package_update state fails as per the logs below.

After the machine finishes booting, and you log in, "dnf update" works without issue.

It looks like the package_update is being run before the network is ready.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Pass a cloud-config file containing to the following to a libvirt deployed VM on an IPv6 only network:

package_update: true
package_upgrade: true

Looks like cloud-init, or libvirt that is running cloudinit, has decided on an ipv4 only networking config:

Later on, we fail here:

It looks like cloud-init hasn't correctly detected if the network is ready, and has run ahead anyway.

This step then fails, and the whole box deploy fails as a result.

The network configuration looks like "fallback" network configuration.

Which DataSource are you using? (I assume NoCloud). Is valid DataSource-specific network configuration being passed to cloud-init? (i.e. for NoCloud a "cidata" ISO/FAT containing network-config enabling IPv6)

I've asked the libvirt people to clarify here:

cloud-init's fallback config (the config used when no network config is provided) is currently dhcp4 only. We would like to add dhcp6, but that currently introduces some breaking behavior.

Are you sure? :⁠-⁠)

Looks like cloud-init, or libvirt that is running cloudinit, has decided on an ipv4 only networking config:

This has changed in the default configuration - as of 0264e9691, dhcp with ipv6 should now be supported by default.

This change is expected to be released in upstream 24.1. If you would like to test this release you may build a RPM to test from the tip of our main branch:

git clone https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init.git
cd cloud-init
./packages/brpm
