Hi,

I would like to make an openvpn client container work but for that I need ipv6 to get to work… I didn’t see a thing about that in documentation (ipv6 networking), is it possible?

The only way i found is using `hostNetwork: true`.

well unfortunately I need something better than that in in a more global way affecting the system because I need that for /dev/net/tun to use it for a vpn container. So I don’t need it for eth specifically so it would be great to be able to activate it globally

I’ve succeeded to use it with . `--sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0`
