Virtualmin API not working with IPv6

Submitted by hinhthoi on Thu, 06/30/2016 - 09:46

Hi Virtualmin developers,

I am trying to use API to create new virtual server and want to add the default shared IPv4 and default shared IPv6 to it:

Here is the commandline i learn from the API page https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/developer/cli/create_domain

The command i try:

root@server2:~# virtualmin create-domain --domain foo.com --pass mypass --ip6 2604:4100:0:1::4612:9793
Unknown parameter --ip6

Adds a new Virtualmin virtual server, with the settings and features
specified on the command line.

virtualmin create-domain --domain domain.name
                         --pass password-for-unix-user |
                         --passfile password-file
                        [--hashpass]
                        [--parent domain.name | --alias domain.name |
                         --alias-with-mail domain.name |
                         --superdom domain.name]
                        [--desc description-for-domain]
                        [--email contact-email]
                        [--user new-unix-user]
                        [--group new-unix-group]
                        [--unix]
                        [--dir]
                        [--dns]
                        [--mail]
                        [--web]
                        [--webalizer]
                        [--ssl]
                        [--logrotate]
                        [--mysql]
                        [--ftp]
                        [--spam]
                        [--virus]
                        [--webmin]
                        [--virtualmin-awstats]
                        [--default-features] | [--features-from-plan]
                        [--allocate-ip | --ip virtual.ip.address |
                         --shared-ip existing.ip.address]
                        [--ip-already]
                        [--dns-ip address | --no-dns-ip]
                        [--max-doms domains|*]
                        [--max-aliasdoms domains]
                        [--max-realdoms domains]
                        [--max-mailboxes boxes]
                        [--max-dbs databases]
                        [--max-aliases aliases]
                        [--template "name"]
                        [--plan "name"]
                        [--limits-from-plan]
                        [--suffix username-prefix]
                        [--db database-name]
                        [--fwdto email-address]
                        [--reseller name]
                        [--mysql-pass password]
                        [--skip-warnings]
                        [--letsencrypt]
                        [--field-name value]*

So actually the ip6 feature is not in the list of the allowable settings.

I notice ip6 also not working for modify-domain command line.

Is there anyway to enable the ipv6 feature when create/modify a domain?

Thank you for any help!

This could happen if Virtualmin doesn't detect that your system support IPv6. Which Linux distribution and version are you running?

Hi Jamie,

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

Thank you for your support!

So the only case in which Virtualmin could detect IPv6 as not enables is if none of your existing network interfaces have a v6 address. Is that the case?

I'm not sure how to check that info, here is the result of ifconfig, it shows that ipv6 is available (Note: i have replaced real IPs with the fake one)

Hmm, that looks fine to me.

If you go to Webmin -> Networking -> Network Configuration -> Active Interfaces, does it show a v6 address on the venet0 interface?
