  • IPv6 and rsync

    Help,
    I'm not a complete network newbie, I'm an a Cisco CCNP and are familiar with networking. But not a super linux guru...


    I have ipv6 native with my ISP (internode). I want to create an off site rsync server for photos and stuff, etc. And want to use Ipv6 cos this will just route, and yep and it's new.



    So have been testing how to get this to work at home. I have a few test jobs setup and working with ipv4, using numbered ipv4 addresses in the 'source server' line item in the rsync job entry.
    eg. -> rsync://root@172.26.68.201:/test3


    BUT, when I substitute the working (yes I can ssh in to the 'source' server with this address. I get a message :-
    ssh: Could not resolve hostname rsync: Name or service not known
    rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
    rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(605) [Receiver=3.0.9]


    The source field looks like this ->
    eg. -> rsync://root@2001:44b6:f04:1e10::201:/test3


    I have tried with and with-out addresses in the 'allowed' option on the server for the module.
    I think the problem is that an IPv6 address has ':' as the delimiter char in the address. And this confuses the parsing of the command.
    I've tried using " " around the address but have not succeeded in getting the job to run with out error.


    Any ideas ?

  • ipv6 and Rsync Plus Ipv6 DNS setup

    0/ system overview info reports the version as 1.19


    1/ Can't add an IPv6 DNS server in the network config section.


    2/ I have a working IPv4 rsync job. I have a working IPv6 address on both omv servers I'm rsyncing from and to. The server hosting the files being 'pulled' has both IPv4 and IPv6 adress in the allowed list. I can happly ping6 both addresses (ie each way, network is flat, no firewall but what omv has). ssh login using ipv6 works.
    But I get a failure to copy when I use the IPv6 address:-


    ssh: Could not resolve hostname rsync: Name or service not known
    rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
    rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(605) [Receiver=3.0.9]


    Should ipv6 work with rsync ?
