Thanks, that's helpful. Would certainly not be difficult to

The main IPv4 settings are passed on the kernel command line for
these self-installs, as both Debian/Ubuntu installer and CentOS
support that.
For Debian/Ubuntu, a late pressed script writes an
/etc/network/interfaces file that will contain the main IPv4
address, all additional IPv4 addresses, and the main IPv6.
As it seems /etc/network/interfaces is being ignored by netplan, I
think either the script will need to write a better netplan config
or else the installer should force ifupdown.
Which do you think should happen?

Hmm, there is no DHCP server at BitFolk so either:
1. netplan has limited understanding of /etc/network/interfaces, or
2. netplan writes a default config file based on its network
settings in the installer phase, and ignores
/etc/network/interfaces totally
Yeah, #2 was likely what happened. My guess is that I simply assumed
DHCP because it showed up in the installer. It's
depressing that there's not a single IPv6 example in
https://netplan.io/examples
In case it helps anyone, here is my current 01-netcfg.yaml.
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
eth0:
addresses:
- "85.119.82.90/21"
- "85.119.83.127/32"
- "2001:ba8:1f1:f1d1::22/64"
- "2001:ba8:1f1:f1d1::2/64"
gateway4: 85.119.80.1
gateway6: "2001:ba8:1f1:f1d1::1" Above results in a setup where the default outgoing
addresses are
85.119.82.90 and 2001:ba8:1f1:f1d1::2. Unsure whatever there is a more
explicit way to set that up.
I have seen various ways to force choice of source address. Some
people say to add the address last, others say to add it as a /128
and then it will always be chosen, and others say to add it as a
deprecated address (preferred_lft 0) then it will never be chosen as
a source address unless forced.
So, personally I prefer the preferred_lft 0 method which in
/etc/network/interfaces file looks like:
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:ba8:1f1:f019::2
netmask 64
gateway 2001:ba8:1f1:f019::1
post-up /bin/ip -6 addr add 2001:ba8:1f1:f019::80/64 dev $IFACE preferred_lft 0
I will have to look up how to do it with netplan.
Cheers,
Andy
