aio-nextcloud-talk cannot start if ipv6 isn't present

[stro]

Steps to reproduce

1. Disable ipv6 on the host machine, for example, by setting net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf or running sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
2. Start AIO containers.

Expected behavior

aio-nextcloud-talk starts if it's selected.

Actual behavior

aio-nextcloud-talk fails to start.

Other valuable info

It seems that the problem is in configuration file, which checks for ipv4 and acts accordingly but fails to check for ipv6. In the end, here's the result of the configuration:

ea515e75202e:/$ cat /conf/eturnal.yml
eturnal:
listen:
- ip: "::"
port: 3478
transport: udp
- ip: "::"
port: 3478
transport: tcp
log_dir: stdout
log_level: warning
secret: "*******"
relay_ipv4_addr: "172.18.0.2"
blacklist_peers:

• recommended
  whitelist_peers:
• 127.0.0.1
• ::1
• "172.18.0.2"

Fix

If configuration file is modified to replace "::" with "0.0.0.0" and "- ::1" is removed, the container starts correctly. I didn't test the full functionality (see janus_streaming errors above), but I was able to login from a phone app.

It looks like https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/blob/main/Containers/talk/start.sh needs to be corrected to check IPv6_ADDRESS_TALK and adjust the configuration correspondingly, or other methods to detect ipv6 presence to be used, like running "ip a|grep ipv6" or "test -f /proc/net/if_inet6"

Hi, as far as I know do also other containers have problems if you disable ipv6 in the kernel. Since most containers are based on official containers, you could try to fix these issues upstream as we do not have any intention to hack them. A workaround for you might be to enable ipv6 in the kernel and simply don't enable ipv6 in docker which results in the same but actually works.

@Zoey2936 wdyt about this change?

[Zoey2936]

Could be done, but depends on the question if we want to support ipv6 disabled setups

[szaimen]

depends on the question if we want to support ipv6 disabled setups

Yes good question.

FYI: talk should have been fixed with #5936
