* bug#44571: Cannot configure a static IPv6 with static-networking-service-type

Dear guix,

My interface should be configured to have 2 static ip addresses, an
IPv4 address and a global IPv6 address.

The static-networking-service-type will only accept one per device, and
will reject the IPv6 address (if I drop the IPv4 address) because it
can't parse it.

My workaround is to add a shepherd service that runs ip address add dev
eno1 the-address and ip address delete dev eno1 the-address, with ip
from iproute2. Maybe static-networking-service-type could do something
better for me?

Best regards,

divoplade

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue and I'm working on it. The idea is to implement the netlink interface in guile and use it to configure the network. I currently have the low-level bits for managing interfaces and addresses. I'm missing the routing part. Once I have this, I can think of a high-level interface that will allow us to build a static-network-service-type that understands IPv4 and IPv6.

See https://git.lepiller.eu/guile-netlink

Hi,

I believe this was fixed in c8609493ba6fd36c05815cad198060e54ea8c4f9 (and 
related commits before and after). See the manual about the new 
static-networking-service-type and welcome to the future!

Cheers,
Jack
