Hi everyone,

My router went from IPv4 to IPv6 after an update from my ISP back in April, and so I decided to try and get my selfhosted Raspberry Pi server to work with it. It’s been less trivial than I hoped it would be, though. It worked and was reachable when it still used IPv4, but it’s been out of the air since April.

I’m running Arch Linux ARM on the device and use networkd to connect it to the internet. I use https://now-dns.com to get a dynamic DNS and have connected it to my server using their Linux script.

This is my Caddyfile:

(myserver.now-dns.net is not actually my server name, I changed it to stay a bit more anonymous. Maybe this is unnecessarily cautious, let me know if I should change this to my actual address to aid your help.)

This is a journalctl log from fresh after a Caddy restart:

Aug 01 14:36:14 baspi2 sudo[23887]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root

• I “opened” the necessary ports on my router (my router calls it that, I realise it’s probably more like I unblocked these ports in its IPv6 firewall)
• I scanned the open ports with an IPv6 port scanner (this one) and it shows ports 80 and 443 to be open, as well as ports 65001 and 26347
• I used my public IPv6 address to scan, as well as the myserver.now-dns.net address (which is actually another server name)
• I used a smart phone unconnected to wifi to test, but the site cannot load there, either. I tested from other networks while away from home, too, which also didn’t work.

Unfortunately, I still cannot connect to the server with a browser. https://myserver.now-dns.net:26347/ gives an ¨Unable to connect" error on Firefox.

I have been whittling away at this issue on and off since April and haven’t really made any big breakthroughs. What would be your first steps in troubleshooting this issue?

When I scan one of the open ports with an online tool, a message like this pops up in the journalctl log:
