apt.dockerproject.org not availible from ipv6-only host

[alexanderkjall]

It's currently not possible to install docker on an debian machine that's ipv6-only:

$ host -t AAAA apt.dockerproject.org
apt.dockerproject.org is an alias for j.global-ssl.fastly.net.
$ host -t AAAA j.global-ssl.fastly.net.
j.global-ssl.fastly.net has no AAAA record

Could you please add a AAAA record so that you can install docker on ipv6-only hosts.

[thaJeztah]

Thanks @jfrazelle I wasn't sure if it was on the same infrastructure 😄

[jessfraz]

[thaJeztah]

Cool!

For me it doesn't work. I tried the DNS of my ISP and the resolver from Google.

I had to turn it off because it broke something, looking at another way

Are the any news on this issue?
@jessfraz what did break when you did enable IPv6?

[jessfraz]

It was SSL with gnu tls on the cloud flare ipv6 proxy that broke, it's all documented in this issue if you read the thread...

[ Duplicating post https://github.com//issues/17790#issuecomment-364378339 since this issue (#17790) was about get.docker.com and not apt.dockerproject.org which is used as Debian Docker repository and which is still IPv4-only ]

Hi, do you think it might be possible to try to enable IPv6 support again?

Some other projects also using deb apt to access Amazon CloudFront hosted repositories with IPv6 + TLS seem to have it working for one year now: nodesource/distributions#170 (deb.nodesource.com).

Amazon indeed introduced IPv6 support in CloudFront in October 2016: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2016/10/ipv6-support-for-cloudfront-waf-and-s3-transfer-acceleration/ .

[ P.S.: as per indicated in https://github.com//issues/17790#issuecomment-365105419 IPv6 has already been successfully enabled for download.docker.com, get.docker.com and test.docker.com, but not yet apt.dockerproject.org ]

@slugan (copying here as well) apt.dockerproject.org is deprecated, and only kept for legacy releases; all current releases are published to https://download.docker.com (which contains both the apt and yum repositories, as well as static builds)

[slugan]

Thanks for the info @thaJeztah!

Here is the process I followed to switch to the new repository on Jessy:

• in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list, replace:
  deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo debian-jessie main
  with:
  deb https://download.docker.com/linux/debian jessie stable
• install the corresponding GPG key:
  wget -qO- https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | apt-key add -
• clean & update the apt cache:
  apt-get clean all && apt-get update

Everything is indeed working perfectly with IPv6-only connectivity.

Thanks again!
