is there a way to bind to an ipv6 address as well, have not found it in the documentation, http.bind.to refers to ipv4 only ? ---

Yes, or at least make it listen on _all_ adresses, I couldn’t even get that to work. For HTTP I currently let the reverse proxy translate, but for some reason Grafana uses the Postgres wire protocol so reverse proxy is not an option. ---

Thanks for the answer, i dont care about Grafana as it is running on the same host. I simply want to have HTTP available on IPV6. If i understand your answer correctly, there is no native way to make HTTP listen on IPV6. ---

> [@Armin\_Diehl](#): > > If i understand your answer correctly, there is no native way to make HTTP listen on IPV6. I don’t know, I was just voicing that I have the same or a very similar issue. That said, no way at all to have the HTTP server listen on IPv6 would be a bit strange in 2024. ---

No change yet, but I have re-raised it. ---

Is it still not possible to bind to IPv6? ---

In theory, it is currently possible, but it has not been tested to prove it, so I cannot say it is supported. ---

Busy looking at deploying it in an IPv6 only network… so yeah, this is “fun” to not have support for IPv6 ;( ---

Any plans to test this from questDB side? ---

Hey @hevisko , Not before the end of the year. However, we do accept OSS contributions so if you think you/other users waiting are motivated or confident you can patch the server to support IPv6, we can support you.
