Finally IPv6 for All DO Droplet Singapore DC

Fired up a DO SGP droplet to test. Still no /64, but they give you a range of 16 addresses, so that's an improvement. (Only gave one address during beta) One address is automatically configured, the rest configurable with ip -6 addr add. I'm also glad to hear from the blog post that they're starting to upgrade current regions to the code base that will make IPv6 possible in those DCs. And the promise of new DCs to come...

Good stuff!

Slow but sure
yes, only 16 max :(


We are currently only providing 16 IPv6 addresses per server. We hope you can understand.

If there's one thing besides lack of adoption that will kill IPv6, it's providers not knowing how to set it up right. I know most LE hosts around here don't do /64s because SolusVM doesn't allow it (yet another manifestation of this problem). DO had a chance to do it right, and it seems they weren't up for it.
