error while ssh into ipv6 server.

[jainamoswal]

My server only connects over ipv6, and while using this action gives me error »

2022/01/09 14:49:09 dial tcp: address tcp/4f8: unknown port

Request you to add support for ipv6 servers also. 👀

(This is duplicate issue of #97, I don't know why the author closed it. 🤷‍♂️)

I will take it.

thanks a lot. I will test it once completed. Your Github action seems to be the only one supporting multiple commands, multiple servers etc., which makes usage very convenient.

I've tried a few other Github actions like https://github.com/marketplace/actions/remote-ssh-commands and its origin https://github.com/marketplace/actions/run-ssh-command but they didn't work either on IPv6. Maybe https://github.com/marketplace/actions/ssh-deploy works (according to easingthemes/ssh-deploy#125)

but for now I just need to rent another IPv4...

edit: of course you can just connect to IPv6 via SSH directly without plugins like

 - name: Deploy to server
        run: |
          # 4d50:0d56:f70a:ed69:9cb0:e66f:ad75:0cd2 is the target ipv6 address (here just a dummy)
          sshpass -p ${{ secrets.REMOTE_PASSWORD }} ssh ${{ secrets.REMOTE_USER }}@4d50:0d56:f70a:ed69:9cb0:e66f:ad75:0cd2 "hostname; cd /xx && git fetch"
# "hostname; cd /xx && git fetch" are just dummy commands
# instead of passing a cleartext password via sshpass of course you should do public key authentication instead

I will take it.

Any news here? :(

@appleboy Please add it, your tool is the best one imo

Waiting for it since public IPv4 on AWS now charges over $40 every year..

[timreibe]

bump, we need this too!

I have tried it, and it works perfectly for IPv6 servers. Thanks!

Can also confirm this works great - thanks so much!

Is there any chance of getting this same IPv6 support in your other package scp-action ?

Currently I receive an error:
drone-scp error: error copy file to dest: 2a05, error message: dial tcp: address tcp/d018: unknown port
and presume it's also due to lack of IPv6 support. Thank you
