[spacecabbie]

Reading https://docs.directadmin.com/directadmin/general-usage/managing-ips.html#ipv6-how-to

I can add it to directadmin but how do i add it to the server ?
I can add the info in:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip.list
and
/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ips/
but how exctly I don't know the right way to add ipv6

I need to add: ****:****:****:****::1 to the server

What distro are you running?
And please hide your ipv6 ;-)

Just do it the easy way.
Login as admin, go to the ip manager and add it in there.

It adds it but seems not to be used ? I tried to link it but that seemed not right so thats why i asked how to add to just server like ipv4

Thank you, I'm happy about that too.

Try switching to Enhanced skin, I find that more clear. Just temporarily.

Then in admin enter on the upper line of ip manager the ipv6 and the lower only /64 nothing else.
It might give an error notice, reload page, check if it's there, if not then add it the same way another time. Happens to me too, no problem.

Then it should be present and visible.

Do you already have the ipv6 present on your network card?

So in SSH as root if you issue this command:
ip a
then there should be 2 ip addresses, 1 starts with FE80:xx:xx:xx etc. and the second one should be your real ip address.

If that is not present then normally DA should add it if you add it via the ip manager.

Thanks for your help found and older thread where you also deald with this and got it working although it still says free, liniking it via ipv4 it added the ip everywhere and dns records it just looks odd:

You might better remove that screenshot or mask the ip's in there partly.

This screenshot is from the ip manager, not from DNS.

Exactly what do you find odd?

How it says that the ip is free and has no users.

How it says that the ip is free and has no users.

That means it's available to be used. That is good.

Yep indeed, same on my servers, that's fine like it is.
