Expected Behavior

I should be able to ping an IPv6 address.

Current Behavior

It doesn't: 2001:4860:4860::8888: error while sending ping: Address not available

Steps to Reproduce

Set up a IPv6 probe like this

Set up a FPing6 probe like


menu = Google DNS v6
title = Google DNS v6
probe = FPing
host = 2001:4860:4860::8888

(Fping is unified, no need to call Fping6)

Environment

OS: Ubuntu 20.06
CPU architecture: x86_64
How docker service was installed: Setup with docker-compose.

Command used to create docker container (run/create/compose/screenshot)

version: "2.1"
services:
  smokeping:
    image: linuxserver/smokeping
    container_name: smokeping
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
    volumes:
      - /opt/docker-smokeping/config:/config
      - /opt/docker-smokeping/data:/data
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8001:80"
    restart: unless-stopped

Note

I understand it takes more setup in the container to enable IPv6. The possible fix of this issue is some verified descriptions of how one can enable IPv6, not necessarily a change in Dockerfile.

Even though it's 2020, ipv6 support is generally patchy at best. I don't think including v6 support at this time in this container is a high priority but if you'd like to create a pull request adding this feature, I'd certainly take a look.
