ACME with standalone HTTP on IPv6 for HAPROXY
-
Hi,
as I got a static /64 prefix on my firewall's WAN side I have plenty of addresses to spare which I intend to use per service for a combination of an haproxy or squid … together with ACME challenging this specific service based IPv6 address.
I have port 443 on the firewall itself already in use (DNAT) for v4 while v6 is 100% free.
Port 80 on the other hand as it looks is hard coded >:( to listen on any address on both v4 and v6. That's what Diagnostics - Sockets tell me and I can't find a way to either stop listening on port 80 or tell which specific IP to listen on.
BTW That's why issuing a certificate fails as I chose "standalone HTTP server".
It says[Thu Nov 23 22:48:57 CET 2017] nc listen error. [Thu Nov 23 22:48:57 CET 2017] usage: nc [-46DdEFhklNnrStUuvz] [-e policy] [-I length] [-i interval] [-O length] [-P proxy_username] [-p source_port] [-s source] [-T ToS] [-V rtable] [-w timeout] [-X proxy_protocol] [-x proxy_address[:port]] [destination] [port] nc: Address already in use
Well, even then it might as well be possible for nc to listen only for the specific IPv6 service address by using the```
-sTLDR; ::) I don't care for v4, how can I manage multiple IPv6 addresses / Hostname combinations to be handled by the acme client while on the other hand haproxy uses that very IP for the its HTTPS balancing? :o I love v6, did I mention that?

I managed to get port 80 free so way to go for requesting my cert.
Well, no, nc just listens on port 80 tcp4 instead of also tcp6? That's just mean. :-
I wasn't able to figure out exactly why that is.
It's in /usr/local/pkg/acme/acme.sh while the _startserver() function seems to be the part where the http server is being invoked.
I set ncaddr manually to my desired IPv6 address. Now it's listening and my cert is being issued.
First try with acme testserver it still showed timeout.Gotta report a bug I guess.Edit:
Here's the bug report.
