"unrecognized keyword 'usev6'" and failure to set IPv6 address

[truppelito]

---

Expected Behavior

I'm running this image on a raspberry pi with the following config file:

force=yes
ssl=yes
daemon=5m
protocol=dyndns2
usev6=if
if=eth0
server=dynv6.com
login=none
password='xxx'
xxx.dynv6.net

I expected ddclient to update the IPv6 address. In fact, by installing ddclient directly with sudo apt-get install ddclient and running it with sudo ddclient -file /path-to-config-file/ddclient.conf I get this expected behaviour.

Current Behavior

By executing ddclient -file /config/ddclient.conf in the container I get the following output:

WARNING:  file /config/ddclient.conf, line 5: unrecognized keyword 'usev6' (ignored)
WARNING:  file /config/ddclient.conf, line 5: unrecognized keyword 'usev6' (ignored)
WARNING:  found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address
WARNING:  unable to determine IP address

Steps to Reproduce

Explained above.

Environment

OS: Linux raspberrypi 5.15.61-v8+ CPU architecture: arm64 How docker service was installed: Using apt-get

Command used to create docker container (run/create/compose/screenshot)

  ddclient:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/ddclient
    container_name: ddclient
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
    volumes:
      - ./ddclient-config:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

Docker logs

A very large number of copies of this line:

Did you ever figure out a fix for this? I'm also not able to get ipv6 updates working. Using the ipv6=yes option also results in an error message:

WARNING: file /ddclient.conf, line 23: Invalid Value for keyword 'ipv6' = 'yes'

It's as if ipv6 support is completely missing.

[truppelito]

No, unfortunately. I eventually found another way to update dynv6.com without using ddclient.

did you guys configure ipv6 in your custom bridge? docker doesn't just magically work with ipv6... is there a valid ipv6 address inside your container?

A human has marked this issue as invalid, this likely happened because the issue template was not used in the creation of the issue.
