:I agree. I renamed the section title. Would be nice if it was enabled by default everywhere; I am still seeing cases where having dualstack turned on by default causes issues, amazingly, in 2023... One of my dumbass ISPs, Optimum (Altice), still doesn't have IPv6, which is insane.

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

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

I agree. I renamed the section title. Would be nice if it was enabled by default everywhere; I am still seeing cases where having dualstack turned on by default causes issues, amazingly, in 2023... One of my dumbass ISPs, Optimum (Altice), still doesn't have IPv6, which is insane.

A bit of cursory research shows that ipv6 is present in /etc/modules since at least Alpine v3.9. Thus I have removed the entire "Enabling IPv6" section since nothing there is applicable anymore.
