Tested on k8s by setting the ipv6 parameter to true or false in the mongodb.conf file: # network interfaces net: port: 27017 unixDomainSocket: enabled: true pathPrefix: /opt/bitnami/mongodb/tmp ipv6: true bindIpAll: true In some k8s cluster, mongodb service is not running because of the following error (from mongodb.log): 2019-06-21T14:09:17.987+0000 I CONTROL [main] Automatically disabling TLS 1.0, to force-enable TLS 1.0 specify --sslDisabledProtocols 'none' 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] MongoDB starting : pid=36 port=27017 dbpath=/opt/bitnami/mongodb/data/db 64-bit host=carlosrh-mongo-mongodb-76bc884646-ztpxl 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] db version v4.0.10 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] git version: c389e7f69f637f7a1ac3cc9fae843b635f20b766 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.1.0j 20 Nov 2018 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] allocator: tcmalloc 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] modules: none 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] build environment: 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] distmod: debian92 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] distarch: x86_64 2019-06-21T14:09:17.992+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] target_arch: x86_64 2019-06-21T14:09:17.993+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] options: { config: "/opt/bitnami/mongodb/conf/mongodb.conf", net: { bindIpAll: true, ipv6: true, port: 27017, unixDomainSocket: { enabled: true, pathPrefix: "/opt/bitnami/mongodb/tmp" } }, processManagement: { fork: false, pidFilePath: "/opt/bitnami/mongodb/tmp/mongodb.pid" }, security: { authorization: "disabled" }, setParameter: { enableLocalhostAuthBypass: "true" }, storage: { dbPath: "/opt/bitnami/mongodb/data/db", directoryPerDB: false, journal: { enabled: true } }, systemLog: { destination: "file", logAppend: true, logRotate: "reopen", path: "/opt/bitnami/mongodb/logs/mongodb.log", quiet: false, verbosity: 0 } } 2019-06-21T14:09:17.995+0000 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen std::exception: open: Address family not supported by protocol, terminating 2019-06-21T14:09:17.996+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] now exiting 2019-06-21T14:09:17.996+0000 I CONTROL [initandlisten] shutting down with code:100 This message is very descriptive: 2019-06-21T14:09:17.995+0000 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen std::exception: open: Address family not supported by protocol, terminating Although the host has disabled IPv6, it is expected that MongoDB will try to use IPv4 in its absence, in fact, we tried it when using this parameter for the first time, so why in some k8s cluster works and not in others? We can disable IPv6 support by running sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.*.disable_ipv6=1 in this case, mongodb server does not complain about unsupported address family when IPv6 is enabled in the configs. This reflects with our earlier findings as we had used the same method to disable IPv6. Continuing on our investigation, we found that the alternate way of disabling IPv6 support is to pass ipv6.disable=1 as a bootarg to the Linux kernel and with this, we were able to see the unsupported address family error with mongodb. With these findings, we cannot make the assumption that IPv6 enabled in the mongodb configs by default will always work regardless of whether the underlying host supports IPv6 or not.

So you can schedule the task as you prefer. Thanks! jason.carey commented on Mon, 29 Jul 2019 19:02:45 +0000: setting ipv6.disable is fundamentally different than setting disable_ipv6. The former completely avoids loading the ipv6 kernel module. The latter loads the kernel module, but avoids assigning addresses. carrodher, I can take a look at making the system a little more robust to that particular configuration (start the server with ipv6 on, but make the kernel completely unaware of ipv6), but I'd like to understand the urgency for you. If you specifically need ipv6.disable style disabling, I can look into scheduling that work sooner. If you're happy with either path and just want raise the issue to our attention, we may tackle this ticket on a looser schedule. carrodher commented on Wed, 10 Jul 2019 10:27:04 +0000: Thanks Daniel. daniel.hatcher commented on Mon, 8 Jul 2019 17:42:29 +0000: Thanks for your report, I will forward this ticket to the appropriate team.
Using a configuration file with net: ipv6: true disabling IPv6 in the system by running sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.*.disable_ipv6=1 it works fine, but disabling it passing ipv6.disable=1 as a bootarg to the Linux kernel, we obtain the 2019-06-21T14:09:17.995+0000 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen std::exception: open: Address family not supported by protocol, terminating error message in the logs and the service doesn't run.
