SABnzbd's webinterface on IPv6

The great NZB downloader SABnzbd is fully IPv6 enabled:
  • you can download from IPv6 newsservers, like new.ipv6.eweka.nl and newszilla6.xs4all.nl. This feature is enabled by default.
  • you can access SABnzbd's webinterface over IPv6. See instruction below.
Here's how to make SABnzbd's webinterface accessable over IPv6: go to http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/config/general/ . Find this part:


SABnzbd Host:
Host SABnzbd should listen on.


There fill out:


::


Then click save and restart SABnzbd. You can now access SABnzbd over it's private and public IPv6 interface:


http://ip6-localhost:8080/sabnzbd/
http://[::1]:8080/sabnzbd/
http://[2001:8348:3a3:0:224:2cff:fe6a:66ab]:8080/sabnzbd/

BTW: as of SABnzbd 0.5.0, you don't need the 'sabnzbd' anymore in the URL, so the very cryptical http://[::1]:8080/ is also OK!

Was having trouble with the web interface on IPv6, changed this setting and it immediately fixed it!

Great advice.
