Overseerr does not handle IPv6-only environments

[wasabipesto]

Description

I am attempting to run overseerr on a server that does not have an IPv4 address, so all external connections on this machine have to connect to IPv6 addresses. Most services are able to fall back to AAAA records when typical A records fail, but the current release version of overseerr does not fall back to IPv6 at all. This is due to a problem with older versions of node not properly handling IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Version

1.30.1

Steps to Reproduce

The docker container starts normally but fails each time it tries to make an outgoing connection. This causes almost all functionality to be lost on the app.

Entering the container, we can get the correct AAAA address from dig and even connect to these sites with curl. This proves that the container is set up correctly, there is something in the node application that is not handling IPv6 correctly.

Attempting to build the image from the current Dockerfile also gives an error due to node attempting to fetch packages from IPv4 addresses:

Upgrading the node version in the Dockerfile to node:19-alpine (from 16.17-alpine) builds successfully. This is most likely due to a change in how node works with IPv6 addresses in node 17. I imagine there is a reason why node is still on this version and I don't want to just submit a pull request bumping the version without knowledge of what it would affect. However, the current version is causing problems for the increasing number of users without IPv4 addresses.

As a note, I am using nat64.net to provide IPv6 addresses for such sites that do not have IPv6 set up yet. This service has been working for every other application on my network, though I am happy to try a different one if it would be helpful for troubleshooting.

I actually have a similar issue, but not on a IPv6-only environment but container has IPv6 and IPv4 addresses.

2023-01-14T04:18:44.475Z [error][Plex.tv API]: Something went wrong while getting the account from plex.tv: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND plex.tv despite it being resolveable via dig in the container.

[danshilm]

The current version of node being used (16.17) was the latest LTS version at the time and is due for a bump to 18.12 which has been promoted to LTS around the end of last year.

I also see what looks like the same behaviour in Kubernetes. My overseerr pod has both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses, I can resolve fine within the container, but the app isn't able to resolve anything:

2023-03-22T23:43:37.671Z [warn][GitHub API]: Failed to retrieve GitHub releases. This may be an issue on GitHub's end. Overseerr can't check if it's on the latest version. {"errorMessage":"getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.github.com"}

For anyone running into this, I worked around it by disabling ipv6 in this pod with the following securityContext:

      securityContext:
        sysctls:
        - name: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6
          value: "1"

You will need to allow this unsafe sysctl in your kubelet args

I'm sorry but you shouldn't disable IPv6. I also don't think that that securityContext will only affect that said pod but potentially others on the same host as well.

This is a bug, which probably should be fixed.

Commenting for the bot

[EnfantDup]

I have the same issue. If upgrading the node version is the only step needed, I don't really see what is stopping this issue from being resolved. It seems like the current version is 18 but the ipv6 is fixed starting v19

The issue is still very much relevant.
