IPv6 Support Now Enabled by Default¶

This week, we introduced full IPv6 support across all components and reconfigured the Matrix stack to accept both internal and external traffic over IPv6 (on hosts with IPv6 connectivity).

To enable this, we had to recreate all the existing internal networks. In most cases, the transition was smooth. However, some customers experienced temporary maintenance issues during the networking reconfiguration - though server operations were not affected.

Due to the variety of hosting environments (different cloud providers, OS distributions, and versions), some servers couldn’t migrate automatically. These required manual intervention to resolve Docker-related issues and adapt configurations to their specific setup.

We apologize for any inconvenience during the migration and appreciate your patience. We hope this improved IPv6 connectivity makes your experience even better!

Customers on Hosted servers which are on etke.cc-owned domains are fully IPv6-ready now for both incoming and outgoing traffic. We have added AAAA DNS records for everyone.

Customers on Hosted servers which are using their own custom domains may or may not have full IPv6 connectivity. Your servers (rented by etke.cc on Hetzner Cloud infrastructure) are IPv6-enabled, but DNS AAAA records may be missing. Until AAAA DNS records are created (at least for the matrix. subdomain), IPv6 will only be used for outgoing communication. To check for AAAA records, use a service like DNS Checker to verify if there is such record at least for matrix. subodmain, example. If there isn’t on, you can configure it. We have likely sent you your server’s IPv6 address during the initial order discussion emails. If you can’t find it, you can contact us, and we’ll send it again.

Customers on On-Premises servers may or may not have IPv6 connectivity at the server/network level. While our stack is ready for IPv6, it may only be enabled if your network supports IPv6. To verify that, you can run the following command from the server itself (ssh to the server first): curl -6 https://icanhazip.com. If you have IPv6 connectivity, and you’re using your own domain, consider setting up AAAA DNS records for all Matrix-related domains (matrix. and any others which have A records right now). If you have IPv6 connectivity and are using an etke.cc-owned domain, contact us.
