How to Use IPv6 on Runner for advertise_addr

In some cases, you might need to use an IPv6 address for the advertise_addr in your Runner configuration. This guide will show you how to do that.

Step 1: Configure advertise_add

You can set the advertise_addr in the SSH configuration of your Runner settings. If you're using an IPv6 address, you should enclose the address in square brackets, as shown below:

ssh:
  advertise_addr: "[2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334]:54782"

In this example, 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 is the IPv6 address, and 54782 is the port number. Replace these with your actual IPv6 address.

Step 2: Save and Apply Changes

Once you've made the changes to your configuration file, save the file and restart your Runner to apply the changes.

That's it! You've now successfully set up your Runner to use an IPv6 address for the advertise_addr. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team.
