Support IPv6
See original GitHub issueSince https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-supervisor/issues/355 was closed, I would like to open another issue to ask for proper IPv6 support.
I am no expert on HASS itself but am operating a separate Docker host with IPv6 enabled via macvlan
network plugin, so this is definitely possible.
In my opinion IPv6 not a nerd topic anymore and software should really try to support it. There are many use cases for it; many consumer ISPs provision NATted IPv4 endpoints while providing full IPv6 connectivity. Mobile network providers have also started providing IPv6 connectivity to mobile equipment. It is just natural HASS should support it.
What is needed to make this happen? How could the end-user experience look like so that this is a seamless experience for single-/dual-stack users?

We need wait (I think) 1-2 year until IPv6 support land on docker with NAT6 and virtual IPv6 stacks or ISP give a range to all users to routing sub network range for virtual networks (but that will be never happens because the routing ranges are not bigger as the ipv4 addresses). I think that move there going faster if big cloud providers start to use IPv6.
I have no focus to this topic and have 0 prio to my work list. If someone is a crack to virtual networks, linux and container. Feel free to join into project.
