500 error installing apps on fresh ipv6 host

[annaoo]

Hardware: VPS debian 10
YunoHost version: 4.3.6.3
I have access to my server : Through SSH & through the webadmin
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : maybe
If yes, please explain: ipv6 only host & in postinstall I gave it a fakedomain which i also added to /etc/hosts

Description of my issue

Hi I’m just trying to test yunohost on a fresh vps install. Was cheaper to try on ipv6 host but I can switch to an IPV4 if required. I just wanted to try installing wordpress. I get error:

* [GET] /apps/manifest?app=wordpress 
Error: "500" Internal Server Error
Action: "GET" /yunohost/api/apps/manifest?app=wordpress&locale=en

I’ve checked forums and couldnt find much help. Here’s some of the common requested details and things to try which I tried:

root@yunohost:~# ping ipv6.yunohost.org
PING ipv6.yunohost.org(yunohost.org (2001:910:1410::1)) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from yunohost.org (2001:910:1410::1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=78.2 ms
root@yunohost:~# ping -c 1 google.com
PING google.com(par21s19-in-x0e.1e100.net (2a00:1450:4007:813::200e)) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from par21s19-in-x0e.1e100.net (2a00:1450:4007:813::200e): icmp_seq=1 ttl=114 time=76.3 ms

I’m not sure that’s where the error comes from. To look further into this you would need the api logs. YunoHost relies partly on GitHub for hosting all the applications and scripts where IPV6 integration doesn’t seem to be the priority.

You can try ping github.com, if that doesn’t work, you can use a DNS 64 to get around the problem, like https://nat64.net/ for example. You can change the DNS server in dnsmasq.

Hello
As far as I know, yunohost is not full-ipv6-only compliant yet. And github repositories are not accessible in IPv6. So if your server has IPv6 only, it will not be able to install apps from github.

Thanks. This helped. For any onlookers, I needed to comment out all existing entries in /etc/resolv.dnsmask.conf and then add the servers linked to by rungeard, then restart dnsmasq. Now I can install software.

I would probably recommend to others to stick with ipv4 though, due to issues with github pointed to. Though I can confirm so far this workaround is doing fine for my tests
