Hello Everyone,
I am trying to deploy weaviate on kubernetes cluster using ipv6.
But it’s failing with below error.

Any clue or suggestions?

Hi @raku ! Welcome to our community :hugs:

Can you share the steps or files you changed with which values you have done for spinning up this cluster?

This will make it easier to try reproducing in our end.

THanks!

Hi @DudaNogueira ! Thank you for your warm welcome.

I am using helm chart to deploy weaviate on kubernetes v1.26

most important change are in values.yaml, like --host parameter updated from 0.0.0.0 to ::

args:
  - '--host'
  - '::'
  - '--port'
  - '8080'
  - '--scheme'
  - 'http'
  - '--config-file'
  - '/weaviate-config/conf.yaml'
  - --read-timeout=60s
  - --write-timeout=60s

authentication:
  anonymous_access:
    enabled: true
  users:
  - admin_user1

  oidc:
    enabled: false

authorization:
  admin_list:
    enabled: true
    users:
    - admin_user1

Except that not many major changes has been done on existing helm chart. Almost using default.

For images I am using my own repository.

Yes have the nodes in the valid IP ranges as per the official documentation of Weaviate and label the nodes as app=weaviate or any thing similar and add nodeaffinity and then it will work. Thats how it worked for us
