Hi,
First time setting up an AAAA DNS record for my server IPv6 hostname. Sorry for asking this, but I’m really a newbie when concerning IPv6.
Can anyone please tell me what is my server public IPv6? If I need to provide any other command just tell me. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!
root@server:~# ip -6 addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
inet6 XXXX:4f8:c17:1e0f::1/64 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 XXXX::9400:1ff:fe44:3f09/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
root@server:~#
root@server:~# ip -6 r
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
XXXX:4f8:c17:1e0f::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
default via fe80::1 dev eth0 proto static metric 1024 pref medium

inet6 XXXX:4f8:c17:1e0f::1/64 scope global
It's with the global flag.
inet6 XXXX:4f8:c17:1e0f::1/64 scope global
One more command
root@server:~# ip addr | grep inet6
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
inet6 XXXX:4f8:c17:1e0f::1/64 scope global
inet6 XXXX::9400:1ff:fe44:3f09/64 scope link
root@server:~#
So is my IPv6 XXXX:4f8:c17:1e0f::1/64? Is that I should use as AAAA DNS record?

don't include /64
Just use address
Just to confirm, I will set my server DNS AAAA IPv6 record as:
XXXX:4f8:c17:1e0f::1
Correct? Thanks!
Yes
Thanks a lot!
solved?
Yes! Thanks

Cool. Usually response from LowEndExperts are like “if you can’t find ipv6 of your server you don’t deserve a server”

In my experience, my IPv6 address is usually ::1
Have you tried this one?
