Since RIPE has run out of IPv4 addresses it is time to officially support IPv6.

@Dennis what is currently blocking the IPv6 Support for Let`s Encrypt?
Certbot should be able to install the Certificate without any Problem: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/ipv6-support/
There are already Server/Cloud Providers where an IPv4 Address costs monthly more.
Dennis
Item authorThere's not really something blocking at the moment, we're in the works of prepping for IPv6 support.

This would let us use the 2.5$ Vultr IPV6-only instance. Kinda awesome for small workers.
Tom De Decker
Hi @Dennis, when is going to be ready? I just did a test and could not add a custom server with ip6 only. It has been a year already :) that you announced it was time to support...
Joseph Szobody
Now that AWS is charging for IPv4 addresses, this is urgent.
Our servers don't need public IPs since they sit behind load balancers. However Ploi requires public IPs to connect. We are now paying well over $100/month to AWS just to have public IPs available to Ploi.

Well that is an awkward silence. Anybody care to enlighten us?

any news please?
Mbekezeli Mhlanga
This is a required thing to be supported since the world is rapidly adopting IPv6.
Can we pretty please get an update on this ?
Kris
Hi, any idea when IPv6 will be implemented?
Dennis
Item authorOk so we're going to actively work on this. Theres 2 parts that need support:
- Servers need IPv6 support, e.g.; you will be have to be able to install server with IPv6 addresses instead of IPv4
- Webserver support, we'll need to adjust the vhost creations more properly to support IPv6, currently, it's basically already in there, but it needs fine-tuning.
Will get back very soon on this 🥰
Julius Kiekbusch
Hey @Dennis,
Thank you for taking this up!
Does this mean the following combinations will be possible:
- IPv4 only (like the current servers)
- IPv6 only (e.g. worker servers)
- IPv4 and IPv6 hybrid (probably the new default for many servers)
The ploi worker servers should also have IPv6 and should probably be added to the whitelist, if the connection happens over IPv6 instead of IPv4: https://ploi.io/documentation/introduction/ploi-ip-for-whitelisting

Any update on this? Want to start really using Ploi for myself, my customers and other companies I freelance for and IPv6 only setup + connection is required!
Josh Green
Any update on this?.... Will have to stop using Ploi at this rate for the few accounts I manage unfortunately.
Dennis
Item authorAre you specifically in need for IPv6 for the server connection? Or are you talking about webserver?
Ansgar Hofmann
There are providers, like hetzner, where the ipv4 costs extra per month. So this feature would need to manage a server that just has no ipv4 address.
Stephan Pfleger
I need to +1 this, we also have many servers hosted on Hetzner. But e.g. our worker servers only need an IPv4 address to be compatible with Ploi. They do not need the address otherwise.
Josh Green
Exactly this, but not only with Hetzner, most cloud providers are moving in this direction (rightly). Our AWS bill is almost 300usd more expensive a month due to having to pay for ipv4 addresses that we would not actually need to use. (CF routes v6 addr via its cdn via v4)
Josh Green
I wan't to setup + manage my server using IPv6 only, e.g. I paste in the v6 IP, you connect via v6, setup the server and allow me to use ploi just over v6.
I do not want to have to pay for ipv4 as the costs are going up and we hit our upper limits with AWS and Hetzner without having to give justifying reasons for why we need more IPv4.
We don't actually need any IPv4, IPv6 will route via v4 via CF which all if not all of our services use.
Is this still planning to be done? If so, how urgent is it? This thread is years old and is the only thing Ploi is missing from being the main deployment pipeline I can recommend to clients and use for all our services.
Josh Green
@Dennis, sorry to continue to tag you but it seems this is how we get a response, this ticket is #1 upvoted. This is a major selling point for Ploi once integrated, MAJOR.
We are all CRYING out for this update, please can you provide us an update on this and if there is going to be a delay, is there a reason?
Sebastian Albert
Please add full ipv6 support. We really need that in 2025. Let's encrypt certification fails when a AAAA record is available.
Josh Green
Using v4 when not needed is crazy as well in 2025, we are paying for it literally.
