IPv6 first Dualstack bootstrap

[abasitt]

Really happy to see the dualstack support and it bootstrap my cluster like a charm when i try.
{ipv4},{ipv6} combo or in another words I call it ipv4 first cluster.

But if i try {ipv6},{ipv4} ipv6 first cluster, it fails at the boostrap templates of cilium and coredns. Somehow the it is looking for 127.0.0.1 as kube-api address.

e.g. below from cilium
Error: Kubernetes cluster unreachable: Get "https://127.0.0.1:6444/version": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:6444: connect: connection refused

k3s itself seems to be fine and up.

Any tips to make the template work?

There is definitely more work to be done on IPv6 as laid out in #1148. One major blocker is that Cilium does not support L2 announcements with IPv6.

Since I have no way to test IPv6 (single/dual or others), I need to lean on the community and people who use the template to help implement and test this functionality (PRs are accepted). Reading the k3s docs on network is a good start. However since I do not use flannel in the template, some of those docs can be omitted.

A few things there stood out to me in that doc, especially this:

When defining cluster-cidr and service-cidr with IPv6 as the primary family, the node-ip of all cluster members should be explicitly set, placing node's desired IPv6 address as the first address. By default, the kubelet always uses IPv4 as the primary address family.
