thank you

This is marked as resolved, but trying with MariaDB 10.1 this is still failing for me.

My configuration:

bind-address = *
wsrep_on=ON
wsrep_provider=/usr/lib/galera/libgalera_smm.so
wsrep_sst_method=rsync
wsrep_node_address="2a00:f10:121:XX:XX:a0ff:fe00:1bc7"

MariaDB fails to start and this is what I see in my logs:

So it has troubles parsing the IPv6 address.

I also tried:

wsrep_node_address="[2a00:f10:121:XX:XX:a0ff:fe00:1bc7]"

But that failed as well.

WSREP: Can't parse port number from '1bc7]': 22 (Invalid argument)

This is on a Ubuntu 14.04 system with 10.1.11+maria-1~trusty

Anything I'm missing here? The documentation doesn't show anything regarding IPv6.

This is because of a limitation in galera library : https://github.com/codership/galera/issues/338

Ok, but since this issues was marked as resolved I assumed the problem was resolved.

So currently it is not possible to run Galera clusters on IPv6-only?

There were some limitations in MariaDB code base too, now resolved.

Some workarounds have been suggested in the last few comments : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/codership-team/ERsd_-9YLr0
