How to configure Nginx to support ipv6 under Linux system

1. Check whether the existing nginx supports ipv6

You need to execute the following command to check whether the existing nginx supports ipv6. If the parameter contains --with-ipv6, it supports it. If not, it does not support it and you need to recompile nginx.

# The nginx path here is based on your actual nginx startup file path /usr/local/nginx-1.14.0/sbin/nginx -V

2. Recompile nginx to support ipv6

1. Download the corresponding nginx installation package;

2. Unzip the nginx installation package;

3. Enter the installation file after decompressing nginx, execute the ./configure command first, then add the parameters obtained from /usr/local/nginx-1.14.0/sbin/nginx -V above, and then add the --with-ipv6 parameter and execute;

4. Execute the make command, and never execute the make install command, otherwise the original nginx will be overwritten;

5. Back up the nginx executable file in the original path:

sudo cp /usr/local/nginx-1.14.0/sbin/nginx /usr/local/nginx-1.14.0/sbin/nginx.old

6. After make, enter the objs folder under the installation folder;

cd objs

7. Stop the original nginx service, overwrite the original nginx execution file, and start the nginx service:

sudo /usr/local/nginx-1.14.0/sbin/nginx -s stop
sudo cp nginx /usr/local/nginx-1.14.0/sbin/nginx
sudo /usr/local/nginx-1.14.0/sbin/nginx

Replenish:

Monitor both IPV4 and IPV6

server {
....
listen [::]:80;
...
} 

Listen only to IPv6

server {
....
listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on;
...
}

Listen to the specified IPV6 address

server {
....
listen [3608:f0f0:3002:31::1]:80;
...
}
