To set the system hostname, do something like the following:<br />
echo "hostname.domain.com" > /etc/hostname<br />

However, setup-hostname only accepts short-form hostnames (without <code>.domain.com</code>). Which is it?<br />

"Enabling IPv6 (Optional)"<br />

The [https://www.nivex.net/gallery/index.php/nivex/Trips/self2010/IMG_1731 first presentation] at SouthEast LinuxFest 2010 was titled "IPv6: No Longer Optional". That was 10 years ago. Please enable it by default.<br />

:It looks like Alpine loads ipv6 anyways, does not matter for me if it is in /etc/modules or not.<br />
