Emby binds to the ipv6 lo address

[nicox 2]

Hello,

 

I create a fresh server for emby. However, using netstat, I can see that emby only binds the loop back ipv6 interface for classical port 8096.

However, I don't run ipv6 in my network.

Is it possible to change it to one of the ipv4 interface ? Not using the web interface since I don't have access to it because of it .

 

I have 2 interfaces :

Lo

127.0.0.0/8

ipv6 stuff

 

Eth0

local ip/24

 

I would like to bind it to the Eth0 ipv4 address.

 

Thank you

Hi, it's not that we're binding specifically to ipv5, rather we bind to 0.0.0.0 which handles all ip addresses, including ipv4. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Ok, in this case, why isn't it binding to other ip address ? What can I do to make it work ? I only did a simple install. I tried with a Centos VM and a Ubuntu Server VM and it was exactly the same.

It doesn't bind to any specific address, rather it binds in a way that allows it to receive on all addresses.

How is your vm setup?   how is its nic tied to the host nic?

I created a virtual bridge on Host that binds to the physical interface.

The vm binds to this virtual bridge.

In the vm I have 2 interfaces, the "lo" interface and eth0. Eth0 is the interface with the lan IP address.

For example ssh binds correctly to it (I can access the vm from the LAN).

It looks Indeed like a VM issue since creating another vm gives the same result.

But I have no idea on what to do.

For information, when a service is binded to 0.0.0.0, the netstat commande only show the IPv6 loopback bind.

Better explained here : https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/152612/netstat-why-are-ipv4-daemons-listening-to-ports-listed-only-in-a-inet6

Thus, my problem is solved.
