My Hosting Provider gives me IPV6 Only. I’m not able to access openvidu server from IPV6. Can anyone help? I’ve deployed openvidu on Ubuntu 20.04 using on-premise docker instructions. ---

I’m using a domain name, but it shows connection refused while trying to access it. The ssh port is accessible, but none of the openvidu ports are accessible. ---

This problem cause is the IPV6 need docker by enabling it > **[Enable IPv6 support](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/ipv6/)** > > Before you can use IPv6 in Docker containers or swarm services, you need to enable IPv6 support in the Docker daemon. Afterward, you can choose to use either IPv4 or... So i think please close it @Vinay @cruizba Thanks ---

The problem seems to be IPV6 Support in Docker. But, by enabling IPV6 Support, OpenVidu Doesn’t directly start using IPV6. We have to do additional steps to make it work. I’m still trying to make it work. This guide is very helpfull for that : [Medium : How to enable IPv6 for Docker containers on Ubuntu 18.04](https://medium.com/@skleeschulte/how-to-enable-ipv6-for-docker-containers-on-ubuntu-18-04-c68394a219a2) ---

It seems like the docker does not support IPV6 on Host mode, it only supports on Bridge mode. Openvidu Containers are set on Host mode. Can someone help me in setting a static IPV6 address to OpenVidu Server? ---

Kurento Media Server uses network host because it needs to use a full range of ports in the host machine. For that reason, the rest of the services are also configured with network host. We don’t have experience working on IPv6 only networks. You will have to try yourself. Regards ---

I’m unable to make it accessible through IPV6 Network. Seems like impossible to me. Considering growing popularity of IPV6, it seems important that there should have been some guide to make it work. Can someone help me in this? @micael.gallego ---

Maybe the problem is not IPV6 and it is other misconfiguration. Please, if you can, share with us your .env configuration. In this way, if we have access to an environment that give us ipv6 machines, we can test your environment. Also, if you can share nginx logs and openvidu logs, it would be helpful.
