The current state of Workadventure in IPv6 only kubernetes
---
body:
## 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
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
## 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.
If you are interested in this development, feel free to
