Running Cloudron at home with a Cable ISP (and hence no IPv4 address)
-
My current ISP-contract runs out and I wonder if I can switch to a cable provider which provides a Fritz!Box as modem / router.
It might be very trivial but I don't know too much about external IPv4 / IPv6 addresses provided by the cable ISP in such a scenario... I read https://docs.cloudron.io/installation/home-server/ and wonder if I'm fine using IPv6 only? Is there anything special to consider when making such a move from a traditional DSL to a Cable provider regarding Cloudron?

@necrevistonnezr I run an IPv6 only Cloudron from home (along with a separate IPv4+IPv6 sever). The main issue I have found is that outside home, IPv6 connectivity is not great. It will let you down when you need it the most
Most cafes, offices, airports simply don't have IPv6 . So, my IPv4 Cloudron is going to be the main one... -
@necrevistonnezr not sure if this is still the case, but a friend of mine in Germany moved to vodafone cable some 2 years ago and he called them, that he needs a real ipv4 for some NAS system. After some support calls later, they toggled a switch and he got a real (still dynamic) ipv4, not that shared ipv4 over ipv6 they use by default. He is not on a business plan either, so maybe worth trying. Since he does use Cloudron, I can confirm it is still working, but just not sure if new customers get the same treatment still.
