How can I disable IPv6 on an Ubuntu 13 VM?

Posted on October 15, 2013

I added blacklist ipv6 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 console=ttyS0" to /etc/default/grub and rebooted but I’m still seeing IPv6 interfaces. Docker has an issue where if it sees ipv6 interfaces it won’t bind to any ipv4 ones.

Is there any way I can disable ipv6 on digital ocean?

Nope: <br> <br>ifconfig | grep inet <br> inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx Bcast:95.85.45.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 <br> inet6 addr: fexx::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx/64 Scope:Link <br> inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 <br>

Sigh, why have I got that name displayed?

Ah, that’s better…
