What doesn't DA install on ipv6 in 2026?

That's not where the install is.

Try this:
sh <(curl -6 -fsSL https://download.directadmin.com/setup.sh) '__insert_your_license_key_here__'

Next to that, I thought a server still required minimal 1 ipv4 still. I could be wrong.

You know what Richard, That sounds like a side quest for me to have a look at later with IPv6 only and DA 🤣

Regarding an IPv4, Hetzner offer IPv6 only access to servers if you don't want to pay the extra €0.50 for the IPv4 a month. Servers will happily run on IPv6 only and can be used for server to server access, ie. Databases, APIs, Backups and many other uses. It works remarkably well when all the peers are IPv6 enabled. But in a hosting/public facing environment, I some people may struggle to access the servers content over IPv6 if their ISP is IPv4 and the person running the server doesn't use services that can access IPv6 like DNS and some traffic translating or proxy layer (Reverse proxy with dual stack: IPv4 listeners and IPv6 Upstream) as IPv4 and IPv6 aren't interoperable without these extra services..

Why this script works on IPv4 VPSsses...

Are you sure or are you looking at CloudVPS? Because if I look at dedicate servers, still 1 ipv4 is delivered for free.

DA is way ahead with ipv6 as DA can run on ipv6 only if I'm correct, but the way more expensive cPanel still can not and have other ipv6 little issues as I experienced.
So DA should be able to install on ipv6 too. Never tested it though.

@peps03 You could send in a ticket at DA.

Yes, VPS have the option of IPv6 only. And you're correct, they add in an IPv4 with a dedi, but you don't have to use that if you didn't want to and could potentially disable them in the kernel. Personally I do use them as I host, as you, and it would be suicidal not to use them in this environment, but I believe you can request dedis from Hetzner IPv6 only but that's a support ticket avenue to travel and a little too much like work for what very little it would save in my case.
