[06:04] <lordievader> Good morning
[09:40] <sveinse> Has anyone here heard anything about if or when ubuntu will get support for stable private ipv6 addrs? Will it be added to 20.04? afaik netplan doesn't support that yet.
[09:41] <lordievader> Wasn't netplan an abstraction layer for things like systemd-network?
[09:41] <lordievader>  * Wasn't netplan an abstraction layer for things like systemd-networkd?
[09:42] <sveinse> yes, but I found that networkd does support it, but netplan can't generate the necessary config. Unless I'm mistaking
[09:46] <maswan> we dropped netplan and just use plain networkd for our servers
[09:46] <sveinse> maswan: how much work is that?
[09:46] <maswan> syntax is slightly more cumbersome, but on the other hand you get what you configure and all the features
[09:46] <lordievader> I typically use ifupdown still on Ubuntu machines.
[09:47] <sveinse> Yeah, I have no particular reason for sticking with netplan - except it's the out of box choice.

[09:48] <lordievader> Guess it is up to the netplan project to decide when they start supporting stable-privacy for other backends.
[09:49] <sveinse> https://github.com/canonical/netplan/blob/master/src/networkd.c#L630
[09:51] <sveinse> PR16618 in systemd were merged on Sept 8 2020. I don't know what version of systemd that corresponds to thou, but I guess it would be safe to say that 20.04 doesn't use anything that new? Or am I mistaking?
[09:53] <sveinse> That would be v247. 20.04 is running v245 afaics
[09:55] <sveinse> Interesting that stable-privacy is coming so late in these systems. I would assume that its a sought after feature on servers serving up ipv6. What do you do for ipv6 servers? Use EUI64 or allocate manual addrs?
[09:56] <lordievader> No, it is unlikely that 20.04 gets major version upgrades.
