Configure IPv6 network

Find out IPv6 allocated to your VM from the interface

ip -6 addr show eth0 | grep global

ip -6 addr show eth0 | grep global
    inet6 2a01:4f8:c013:ae57::1/64 scope global 

This implies pool is 2a01:4f8:c013:ae57::/64

Next, determine /80 slices from it for use in container network

Pool Note
2a01:4f8:c013:ae57:0000::/80 Pool 1
2a01:4f8:c013:ae57:0001::/80 Pool 2
2a01:4f8:c013:ae57:0002::/80 Pool 3

Pick pool 2 for creating network for proxy:

docker network create --ipv6 --subnet 2a01:4f8:c013:ae57:0001::/80 proxy


Verify network is created and inspect it

docker network list docker network inspect proxy


By default docker does IPv6 NAT as well. Disable NAT in ip6tables by creating daemon.json

sudo vim /etc/docker/daemon.json

{
    "ip6tables": false
}

Next, restarted docker engine with sudo systemctl restart docker

Flush any old rules came as result of previous config sudo ip6tables -t nat -F POSTROUTING

Once verified, moved deploy NGINX Proxy Manager.
