    Changes

    Network policy release. Every image now always does IPv6 SLAAC with an EUI-64 address and takes DNS from the RA (RDNSS); IPv4 is mostly static (PVE cloud-init), DHCPv4 the exception; a static IPv6 address is additional, never instead of SLAAC. See PR #19 (commits 23d2f0c, a17c915).

    • SLAAC-1 - sysctl policy (RA on, EUI-64, no temporary addresses); dhcpcd.conf ipv4only (dhcpcd used to replace the kernel's EUI-64 SLAAC with RFC 7217 addresses on every DHCPv4 VM); if-up.d/ecs-slaac restores SLAAC on inet6 static NICs (ifupdown disables it there), keeps the static address as outbound source (RA default route demoted to metric 2048) and solicits an RA on every ifup.
    • DNS-1 - rdnssd + ndisc6 on all images. Debian/Devuan add resolvconf as arbiter: RDNSS -> PVE nameservers -> DHCP -> Quad9 fallback. Before, RDNSS reached resolv.conf only by accident (dhcpcd) and PVE's nameserver/searchdomain were silently ignored. Ubuntu noble ships no resolvconf/openresolv: rdnssd's built-in merge only, PVE nameservers still ignored there.
    • NET-1 - no eth0/lo stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces: ifupdown merged them with cloud-init's, so a VM with a static address also ran a DHCP client, and an empty lo record wiped PVE's DNS.
    • NET-2 (standalone) - net.ifnames=0 (NIC is eth0 everywhere); the default "DHCPv4 + SLAAC" stanza ships as the file cloud-init overwrites, so it never coexists with a real config; hvisage user (sudo NOPASSWD, SSH keys, zsh) baked in like the LXC ECS01 bundle - a VM without a cloud-init drive is reachable on its EUI-64 address and can be logged into (root stays locked); cloud-init's fallback netcfg patched to dhcp6: False ("No DHCPv6 client software found!" failed networking.service on every VM without a network-config since 0.1.0).
    • ORDER-1 (Devuan) - cloud-init-local now runs in OpenRC's sysinit runlevel before networking; previously PVE's static IPv4/IPv6 was not applied on first boot (masked by the old DHCP stanza).
    • HOME-1 - ecs-firstboot defaults HOME=/root; the unit was FAILED and etckeeper uninitialised at first boot on every VM with a real hostname.
    • VSOCK-1 - mask systemd-ssh-generator (Debian 13 AF_VSOCK log spam).

    Verified per image under TCG with PVE-style NoCloud seeds: static4, static4+static6, static4+ip6=auto, dhcp4, no network-config, no datasource. 0 outdated packages vs release+updates+security. Not supported: PVE ip6=dhcp (ifupdown needs ISC dhclient; out of policy).

    VMs deployed from <= 0.2.3 keep their old behaviour (no -updates/-security sources on <= 0.2.2, DHCP client beside static config, no RDNSS consumer) - re-provision or fix by hand.
