### My YunoHost server

**Hardware:** Raspberry Pi 3 at home  
**YunoHost version:** 10.0.10  
**I have access to my server :** Through SSH

### Description of my issue

Hi,

After a reboot, Nginx is not starting anymore.

```plaintext
nginx: [emerg] socket() [::]:80 failed (97: Address family not supported by protocol)`

```

I looks like I have no ipv6 but I can’t figure out how to fix this. Should I activate ipv6 and how? Or should I disable ipv6 for nginx? Any help welcome.

Right now I have written a script to disable ipv6 listening for ngnix. I would like to turn it into a hook. I have seen some samples from @metyun at [Share your "hooks" to apply custom configurations- Partagez vos "hooks" pour appliquer des configurations personnelles - #2 by metyun](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/share-your-hooks-to-apply-custom-configurations-partagez-vos-hooks-pour-appliquer-des-configurations-personnelles/17235/2) but I don’t know how to write a hook properly.

```auto
#!/bin/bash

# comment out lines containing ipv6 listening in nginx config files

sed -i "/listen \[::\]:/ s/^#*/#/" /etc/nginx/conf.d/domain.tld.conf
sed -i "/listen \[::\]:/ s/^#*/#/" /etc/nginx/conf.d/yunohost_admin.conf
sed -i "/listen \[::\]:/ s/^#*/#/" /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

```
