Summary:

This feature request advocates for the implementation of IPv6 support in Easy Panel, with a specific focus on enhancing service management, including port management capabilities, to fully support IPv6. The addition is critical as there are services and Docker images that require IPv6 to operate optimally. The integration of IPv6 will ensure Easy Panel remains at the forefront of technology, accommodating the needs of modern applications and services that are designed to leverage IPv6 capabilities.

Proposed Enhancements:

IPv6 Compatibility for Service Management: Enable the configuration and management of services over IPv6, including the assignment of IPv6 addresses, and support for IPv6 networking features within Easy Panel.

IPv6 Port Management: Enhance port management functionalities to include IPv6, allowing for the configuration of port forwarding, security rules, and other port-related settings specific to IPv6 addresses.

Dual-Stack Operation Support: Facilitate dual-stack operation to allow services to be accessible via both IPv4 and IPv6, ensuring compatibility and flexibility for various deployment scenarios.

User Interface Adjustments: Revise the Easy Panel interface to clearly support IPv6 configurations, ensuring intuitive management for users deploying IPv6-based services and Docker containers.

Benefits:

Optimized Service Deployment: Enables users to deploy services and Docker containers that require or are optimized for IPv6, thus enhancing the overall performance and accessibility of these services.

Enhanced Security and Performance: Leveraging IPv6 can provide performance improvements and security enhancements intrinsic to IPv6 protocols for applications that are designed to use these features.
