## Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At ungleich we are often running software in IPv6 only environments
|
|
|
|
|
and recently even more in IPv6 only Kubernetes clusters. Today we had
|
|
|
|
|
a look at running [WorkAdventure](https://workadventu.re/) in an IPv6
|
|
|
|
|
only kubernetes cluster.

## Status: waiting for bugfix
|
2021-12-19 19:06:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the moment it looks like as if WorkAdventure cannot run in IPv6
|
|
|
|
|
only Kubernetes clusters. The frontend displays the infamous "Network
|
|
|
|
|
Error" messages. When checking the backend, it displays an error that
|
|
|
|
|
it cannot resolve the redis hostname, which [seems to be a bug in the
|
|
|
|
|
resolver
|
|
|
|
|
code](https://github.com/thecodingmachine/workadventure/issues/1657),
|
|
|
|
|
as the hostname does resolve, albeit only to an IPv6 address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As usual you can find our code in the
|
|
|
|
|
[ungleich-k8s
|
|
|
|
|
repository](https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-k8s/src/branch/master/apps/workadventure),
|
|
|
|
|
which contains development iterations at the moment:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* v1: initial conversions from docker-compose using kompose
|
|
|
|
|
* v2: Adjust manifests so that pods generally speaking run
|
|
|
|
|
* v3: Turned into a helm chart with most services running stable
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
If you want to give it a spin yourself, here is how to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Setup an IPv6 only kubernetes cluster
|
|
|
|
|
* Ensure you have helm locally installed
|
|
|
|
|
* Ensure you have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Clone the ungleich-k8s repo (see link above)
|
|
|
|
|
* `cd apps/workadventure/`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
helm upgrade --install workadventure v3/
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|

|
## Next steps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are currently waiting to hear back from the redis bug report and
|
|
|
|
|
will continue developing after the backend is running stable in an
|
|
|
|
|
IPv6 only environment.
|
