New node listening on IPv6 only, how to change?

Node Operators troubleshooting

How do I tell the storagenode container to listen only on ipv4? I’m running on a linux server where I cannot disable ipv6 entirely. The firewall ports are only open for incoming ipv4.

I tried putting this into my config.yaml:
# public address to listen on
server.address: “0.0.0.0:28967”

but alas the startup log always records:

2019-07-19T22:24:48.677Z        INFO    Public server started on [::]:28967
2019-07-19T22:24:48.677Z        INFO    Private server started on 127.0.0.1:7778

and after startup I get no communication to other nodes/satellites.

I have another node (working just fine) running with ipv6 completely disabled on the OS and upon startup it reports:

2019-07-17T19:35:37.824Z        INFO    Public server started on 0.0.0.0:28967

Any ideas?

There is nothing to change. Make sure that your ADDRESS option in the docker run set to the external address with port, for example -e ADDREES=external.address:28967 and make sure that you forwarded the TCP 28967 port to your PC with docker.
The environment variables have a precedence above parameters in the config.yaml.

If your Last contact on the dashboard is lesser than a few seconds - your node is online.

Thanks Alexey, you are right (of course).

When I started this thread I was not seeing an open port for 28967/ipv4 on my host, but now I am and dashboard is seeing contact.

Thanks for your help, especially on the weekend!
