Operating-system: Home Assistant and IPv6

Hass.io Supervisor 115
HassOS 1.7
Home-Assistant 0.74
Raspberry Pi 2 B

Home Assistant does not get an IPv6 address on my router, while other devices do get an IPv6 address.
Is IPv6 supported in HassOS?
If so, what configs/logs/... can I check to find the problem or enable IPv6 support?

Weird, my (same) setup does have an IPv6 addr.
Are you using any custom NetworkManager connection files?
The default profile should get an IPv6 address, right?

The default profile has ipv6 in it ( look at: https://github.com/home-assistant/hassos/blob/dev/buildroot-external/rootfs-overlay/usr/share/system-connections/default ),

even adding an explicit config doesnt help here, Hassos isnt receiving an ipv6 address and ipv6 network is broken ( i see a log entries about not able to reach some of my zeroconf services because of that ).

I just restored my old Hassio installation with resin and it worked there, while Hassos isnt receiving an address.

@tjorim can u please confirm that your device has a working ipv6 ?

@bayi I'm 100% sure I had an IPv6 address, both my router and the Pi-hole add-on confirmed it.
However, did a full clean install yesterday (with HassOS 2.1) on my raspi2.
Just went checking after your message, and looks like it didn't get an IPv6 address this time, really weird.

@pvizeli is this enough information to reopen this issue ?
I just reinstalled HassOS newest and it isnt receiving any ipv6 address no matter what i do.

What can i do to help you out with more information ?

What method are you using to get the IPv6 address? I tried it today and it's working fine with SLAAC.
But it's useless to have IPv6 on HassOS because none of the containers has an IPv6 address. I will have to patch the HassOS source to completely disable this IPv6. There are too many problems with IPv6 that are not resolved yet.
