Hello,

I am in virtualbox on windows. I installed the file “centreon-central-2404-debian11.ova” and when I pass the command “ip addr” I have an ipv6 address. I configured the VM in "bridge access" and whether I use the wifi or ethernet network card: it's the same. How to switch to IPV4?

    hello

    this is a linux problem, and centreon can work with ipv4 or v6 without any issue, so they didn’t disable ipv6 in the ova

    here is a procedure from google

    How To Disable IPv6 on Debian 11 / 10 & Ubuntu 20.04 / 18.04 | ITzGeek

    this will only disable ipv6, you need to have an ipv4 on your VM, and this is provided by your DHCP or whatever network system your virtualbox is using, if your “ip addr” show only an ipv6, check your windows/virtualbox config. (and I can’t help you here as I don’t use virtual box personnally, sorry)

    if your ip addr shows also an ipv4 then you are good and just follow the step from the article above.

     

    also, beware End of Support for Debian 11 in Version 24.10 | Community <== I would highly suggest to install from package, there is an “unattended” installation for RHEL/ALMA/ROCKY 9 and Debian 12 (and others), you may want to swith to a newer linux OS if you plan to use centreon
