A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.

Let’s begin.

First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:

Concept 1

This is useful for folks like me who use auto-login in gnome and don't want unlock gnome-keyring every time during login.

Prerequisites

LUKS password and gnome-keyring passwords are same.
Ubuntu 24.04 (Could work in other versions, but I did not test it)

FYI : It will store first password you type. If you make mistake and type password 2nd time it wont work.

Install required packages ( package keyutils contain command keyctl)

1. Clone your fork:

git clone git@github.com:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git

2. Add remote from original repository in your forked repository:

cd into/cloned/fork-repo
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
git fetch upstream

	#!/bin/bash -e
	#
	# Improved backup script for Ubiquiti UniFi controller
	# original source: http://wiki.ubnt.com/UniFi#Automated_Backup
	#

	# must contain:
	# username=<username>
	# password=<password>
	source ~/.unifi-backup
