How to use the IPv4-to-IPv6-Proxy

Status

This document is PRE PRODUCTION.

Introduction

To enable IPv6 only VMs to be accessible from the IPv4 Internet, we have an IPv4-to-IPv6 proxy.

How to use it (as a customer)

  • Configure / setup your website to be reachable by IPv6
  • Ensure that your domain name has an AAAA entry pointing to your website
  • Inform the ungleich team via support at ungleich.ch about your domain
  • Our team will setup the proxy to whitelist your domain
  • Setup an A entry for your domain(s) pointing to 185.203.112.54

Technical details / how to maintain it

  • It's configured by cdist, type __ungleich_haproxy
  • To add a domain, edit manifest/ungleich
    • Find ipv6-proxy.ungleich.ch
    • Verify that the domain has an AAAA entry
    • Add the domain using the "--v4proxy DOMAIN" parameter
    • Commit in git, push
  • Run cdist: cdist config ipv6-proxy.ungleich.ch

Troubleshooting

If the customer domain does not exist (anymore), haproxy will refuse to reload. In this case the customer domain has to be removed and the customer to be notified.
